Workload Management is a performance management process in which an autonomic database management system on a cloud environment efficiently makes use of its virtual resources. Workload management for concurrent queries is one of the challenging aspects of executing queries over the cloud. The core problem is to manage any unpredictable overload with respect to varying resource capabilities and performances. This chapter proposes an efficient workload management system for controlling the queries execution over a cloud. The chapter presents architecture to improve the query response time. It handles the user's queries then selecting the suitable resources for executing these queries. Furthermore, managing the life cycle of virtual resources through responding to any load that occurs on the resources. This is done by dynamically rebalancing the queries distribution load across the resources in the cloud. The results show that applying this Workload Management System improves the query response time by 68%.


Most of the current day applications are data and compute intensive which led to invention of technologies like Hadoop. Hadoop uses Map Reduce framework for parallel processing of big data applications using the computing resources of multiple nodes. Hadoop is designed for cluster environments and has few limitations when executed in cloud environments. Hadoop on cloud has become a common choice due to its easy establishment of infrastructure and pay as you use model. Hadoop performance on cloud infrastructures is affected by the virtualization overhead of cloud environment. The execution times of Hadoop on cloud can be improved if the virtual resources are effectively used to schedule the tasks by studying the resource usage characteristics of the tasks and resource availability of the nodes. The proposed work is to build a dynamic scheduler for Hadoop framework which can make scheduling decision dynamically based on job resource usage and node load. The results of the proposed work indicate an improvement of up to 23% in execution time of the Hadoop Map Reduce applications.

Load balancing of non-preemptive independent tasks on virtual machines (VMs) is an important aspect of task scheduling in clouds. Whenever certain VMs are overloaded and remaining VMs are under loaded with tasks for processing, the load has to be balanced to achieve optimal machine utilization. In this paper, we propose an algorithm named honey bee behavior inspired load balancing, which aims to achieve well balanced load across virtual machines for maximizing the throughput. The proposed algorithm also balances the priorities of tasks on the machines in such a way that the amount of waiting time of the tasks in the queue is minimal. We have compared the proposed algorithm with existing load balancing and scheduling algorithms. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective when compared with existing algorithms. Our approach illustrates that there is a significant improvement in average execution time and reduction in waiting time of tasks on queue using workflowsim simulator in JAVA.

Load balancing makes cloud computing greater knowledgeable and could increase client pleasure. At reward cloud computing is among the all most systems which offer garage of expertise in very lowers charge and available all the time over the net. However, it has extra vital hassle like security, load administration and fault tolerance. Load balancing inside the cloud computing surroundings has a large impact at the presentation. The set of regulations relates the sport idea to the load balancing manner to amplify the abilties in the public cloud environment. This textual content pronounces an extended load balance mannequin for the majority cloud concentrated on the cloud segregating proposal with a swap mechanism to select specific strategies for great occasions.

In Cloud computing environment QoS i.e. Quality-of-Service and cost is the key element that to be take care of. As, today in the era of big data, the data must be handled properly while satisfying the request. In such case, while handling request of large data or for scientific applications request, flow of information must be sustained. In this paper, a brief introduction of workflow scheduling is given and also a detailed survey of various scheduling algorithms is performed using various parameter.

Cloud is an emerging technology that stores the necessary data and electronic form of data is produced in gigantic quantity. It is vital to maintain the efficacy of this data the need of data recovery services is highly essential. Cloud computing is anticipated as the vital foundation for the creation of IT enterprise and it is an impeccable solution to move databases and application software to big data centers where managing data and services is not completely reliable. Our focus will be on the cloud data storage security which is a vital feature when it comes to giving quality service. It should also be noted that cloud environment comprises of extremely dynamic and heterogeneous environment and because of high scale physical data and resources, the failure of data centre nodes is completely normal.Therefore, cloud environment needs effective adaptive management of data replication to handle the indispensable characteristic of the cloud environment. Disaster recovery using cloud resources is an attractive approach and data replication strategy which attentively helps to choose the data files for replication and the strategy proposed tells dynamically about the number of replicas and effective data nodes for replication. Thus, the objective of future algorithm is useful to help users together the information from a remote location where network connectivity is absent and secondly to recover files in case it gets deleted or wrecked because of any reason. Even, time oriented problems are getting resolved so in less time recovery process is executed.
