Cloud computing environment is regarded as a kind of multi-tenant computing mode. With virtulization as a support technology, cloud computing realizes the integration of multiple workloads in one server through the package and seperation of virtual machines. Aiming at the contradiction between the heterogeneous applications and uniform shared resource pool, using the idea of bin packing, the multidimensional resource scheduling problem is analyzed in this paper. We carry out some example analysis in one-dimensional resource scheduling, two-dimensional resource schduling and three-dimensional resource scheduling. The results shows that the resource utilization of cloud data centers will be improved greatly when the resource sheduling is conducted after reorganizing rationally the heterogeneous demands.

The flourishing development of the cloud computing paradigm provides several services in the industrial business world. Power consumption by cloud data centers is one of the crucial issues for service providers in the domain of cloud computing. Pursuant to the rapid technology enhancements in cloud environments and data centers augmentations, power utilization in data centers is expected to grow unabated. A diverse set of numerous connected devices, engaged with the ubiquitous cloud, results in unprecedented power utilization by the data centers, accompanied by increased carbon footprints. Nearly a million physical machines (PM) are running all over the data centers, along with (5 – 6) million virtual machines (VM). In the next five years, the power needs of this domain are expected to spiral up to 5% of global power production. The virtual machine power consumption reduction impacts the diminishing of the PM’s power, however further changing in power consumption of data center year by year, to aid the cloud vendors using prediction methods. The sudden fluctuation in power utilization will cause power outage in the cloud data centers. This paper aims to forecast the VM power consumption with the help of regressive predictive analysis, one of the Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The potency of this approach to make better predictions of future value, using Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) regressor which provides 91% of accuracy during the prediction process.

Data centers are the main nerve of the Internet because of its hosting, storage, cloud computing and other services. All these services require a lot of work and resources, such as energy and cooling. The main problem is how to improve the work of data centers through increased resource utilization by using virtual host simulations and exploiting all server resources. In this paper, we have considered memory resources, where Virtual machines were distributed to hosts after comparing the virtual machines with the host from where the memory and putting the virtual machine on the appropriate host, this will reduce the host machines in the data centers and this will improve the performance of the data centers, in terms of power consumption and the number of servers used and cost.

As cloud computing offers services to lots of users worldwide, pervasive applications from customers are hosted by large-scale data centers. Upon such platforms, virtualization technology is employed to multiplex the underlying physical resources. Since the incoming loads of different application vary significantly, it is important and critical to manage the placement and resource allocation schemes of the virtual machines (VMs) in order to guarantee the quality of services. In this paper, we propose a decentralized virtual machine migration approach inside the data centers for cloud computing environments. The system models and power models are defined and described first. Then, we present the key steps of the decentralized mechanism, including the establishment of load vectors, load information collection, VM selection, and destination determination. A two-threshold decentralized migration algorithm is implemented to further save the energy consumption as well as keeping the quality of services. By examining the effect of our approach by performance evaluation experiments, the thresholds and other factors are analyzed and discussed. The results illustrate that the proposed approach can efficiently balance the loads across different physical nodes and also can lead to less power consumption of the entire system holistically.

Nowadays cloud computing is progressing very fast and has resulted in advances in other technologies too. Cloud computing provides quite a convenient platform for millions of users to use computing resources through the internet. Cloud computing provides the possibility of only concentrating on business goals instead of expanding hardware resources for users. Using virtualization technology in computing resources results in the efficient use of resources. A challenging work in virtualization technology is the placement of virtual machines under optimal conditions on physical machines in cloud data centers. Optimal placement of virtual machines on physical machines in cloud data centers can lead to the management of resources and prevention of the resources waste. In this paper, a new method is proffered based on the combination of hybrid discrete multi-object sine cosine algorithm and multi-verse optimizer for optimal placement. The first goal of the proposed approach is to decrease the power consumption which is consumed in cloud data centers by reducing active physical machines. The second goal is to cut in resource wastage and managing resources using the optimal placement of virtual machines on physical machines in cloud data centers. With this approach, the increasing rate of virtual migration to physical machines is prevented. Finally, the results gained from our proposed algorithm are compared to some algorithms like the first fit (FF), virtual machine placement ant colony system (VMPACS), modified best fit decreasing (MBFD).

Since its emergence, cloud computing has continued to evolve thanks to its ability to present computing as consumable services paid by use, and the possibilities of resource scaling that it offers according to client’s needs. Models and appropriate schemes for resource scaling through consolidation service have been considerably investigated,mainly, at the infrastructure level to optimize costs and energy consumption. Consolidation efforts at the SaaS level remain very restrained mostly when proprietary software are in hand. In order to fill this gap and provide software licenses elastically regarding the economic and energy-aware considerations in the context of distributed cloud computing systems, this work deals with dynamic software consolidation in commercial cloud data centers 𝑫𝑺𝟑𝑪. Our solution is based on heuristic algorithms and allows reallocating software licenses at runtime by determining the optimal amount of resources required for their execution and freed unused machines. Simulation results showed the efficiency of our solution in terms of energy by 68.85% savings and costs by 80.01% savings. It allowed to free up to 75% physical machines and 76.5% virtual machines and proved its scalability in terms of average execution time while varying the number of software and the number of licenses alternately.

In this paper, a self-adaptive load balancing technique is proposed using live migration of heterogeneous virtual machines (VM) in a Hyper-V based cloud environment. A cloud supported plugin as a management activity within the infrastructure as a service strategy. It is proposed to assist the load balancing process in such a way so that all hypervisors are almost equally loaded once the overload status gets triggered. In the cloud computing environment, load balancing plays a major role if the large number of events triggered has a high impact on the performance of the system. The efficiency of cloud computing is based on the efficient load balancing having a self-adjustable technique using live migration of VMs across clusters of nodes. The proposed load balancing model is efficient in performance improvement by efficient resource utilization and also it helps to avoid the situation occurrence of server hanging by the cause of server overload within the infrastructure of multiple Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors environment.
