An adaptive VM reservation scheme with prediction and task allocation in cloud

Abstract

In a cloud environment, it is important for cloud broker to provide a cost-effective VM utilization. In this paper, we suggest a predicting scheme that can be applied for RVM provision by calculating demands. And there are some resource difference with respect to user’s needs on the process measuring clients’ needs. We also propose a method called M-C-VMA to handle the cost caused by the difference between real user demand and RVM provision. Performance evaluation showed that the proposed heuristic with VM Replacement is more efficient than C-VMA in cost performance. When M-C-VMA works on the VM allocation procedure, the result shows the higher RVM utilization than the not-modified method and consequently, it can lead the cost-efficient operation in broker system.
