Impact of Resource Management and Scalability on performance of Cloud Applications - A Survey

Abstract

Cloud computing facilitates service providers to rent their computing capabilities for deploying applications depending on user requirements. Applications of cloud have diverse composition, configuration and deployment requirements. Quantifying the performance of applications in Cloud computing environments is a challenging task. In this paper, we try to identify various parameters associated with performance of cloud applications and analyse the impact of resource management and scalability among them.
