Int-flbcc: Model for load balancing in cloud computing using fuzzy logic type-2 and admissible orders

Abstract

Dynamic consolidation of virtual machines (VMs) is an effective way to improve resource utilization and power efficiency in cloud computing, directly affecting Quality of Service aspects. This paper presents Int-FLBCC, a new proposal with exploring a Type-2 Fuzzy Logic approach to address the uncertainties and inaccuracies in determining resource usage, aiming at energy savings with minimal performance degradation. Validation results in a simulated cloud computing environment showed improvements in energy efficiency of 8.83% with IQR XY and 22.43% with MAD XY. For fulfillment of Service Level Agreements (SLA), the best values achieved were 9.06% with MAD XY and 25% of THR Lex1.
