As cloud based services becomes more assorted, resource provisioning becomes more challenges. This is an important issue that how resource may be allocated. The cloud environment offered distinct types of virtual machines and cloud provider distribute those services. This is necessary to adjust the allocation of services with the demand of user. This paper presents an adaptive resource allocation mechanism for efficient parallel processing based on cloud. Using this mechanism the provider's job becomes easier and having the least chance for the wastage of resources and time.

The rapid development of cloud computing requires improvement of pricing and allocation mechanisms of cloud resources. Dynamic pricing and allocation mechanisms are considered convenient, due to characteristics of cloud resources and the fact that demand for cloud resources is not uniform. The aims of such a mechanism are to optimize the utilization of cloud resources, to maximize cloud providers' revenues, and to minimize prices for cloud customers. Auction-based pricing and allocation mechanisms are often used since resources are allocated to the customers that value them the most, and prices are determined depending on the supply and demand conditions. Selection of an appropriate bidding strategy is a very important issue and requires the comprehensive approach. This chapter analyses the benefits of auction-based pricing and allocation mechanism in the cloud environment. In addition, the effects of different bidding strategies application are addressed.

Cloud computing, a metered based technology provides the services using virtualized technology over the internet. In the cloud environment, to improve the performance (such as utilization of the resources, energy minimization) extreme number of virtual machines (VMs) can be installed on the servers as per their resource capacity. In this way, servers can be overloaded. Overloaded servers consume more energythan normal status servers. VM migration (VMM) is an efficient technique to become a server in a normal state. VMM technique is used to consolidate the resources to increase resource utilization (RU) and reduceenergy usage. In the VMM technique, selection of VM such as which VM is migrated from one server to another server and allocation of VM on servers is an important aspect. Appropriate VM selection declines the numeral of VMMs and increasesenergy efficiency. Appropriate VM allocation declines the server to become overloaded. In this paper, the VM selection and allocation strategy is presented. CloudSim toolkit is used to verify the strength of proposed VM selection and allocation algorithm. Proposed VM Selection algorithm (MaMT) performs better than existing MiMT algorithm in terms of total energy consumption, number of hosts shut down, number of VMM, and average Service Level Agreement (SLA) violation rate. MaMT algorithm with resource aware provisioning (RAP) and MiMT+RAP algorithm combines both VM selection and allocation policies. RAP algorithm used both energy and RU parameters while allocating VM to the server.MaMTreduces the energy consumption up to 7.25% and reduces the SLA violation rate up-to 2.6% in comparison to MiMT algorithm. When VM selection and allocation policies combines together than more system performance is improved. MaMT+RAPreduces the energy consumption up to6.76% and reduces the SLA violation rate up-to 0.22% in comparison to MaMT algorithm.MiMT+RAPreduces the energy consumption up to15.23% and reduces the SLA violation rate up-to 0.95% in comparison to MiMT algorithm.


using virtualization many Virtual Machines can run parallel on the same Host. For dynamic resource management, virtual machines can be migrated from residing host to a different. But before starting the migration some questions need to be answered like when to start the virtual machine migration, which VM to migrated and where? The Virtual Machine migration methods on the Virtual cloud environment has already been researched at length, but very few studies have focused on affinity-relations among virtual machines during migration, hence the key objective of this research paper, is to explore the Affinity-aware VM migration in detail and propose Affinity-Aware VM migration algorithms for migration of a group of VMs with affinity to a destination Host with less capacity than required. This paper also provides a brief review of several virtual machine migration techniques
