Aimed at resolving the issues of the imbalance of resources and workloads at data centers and the overhead together with the high cost of virtual machine (VM) migrations, this paper proposes a new VM migration strategy which is based on the cloud model time series workload prediction algorithm. By setting the upper and lower workload bounds for host machines, forecasting the tendency of their subsequent workloads by creating a workload time series using the cloud model, and stipulating a general VM migration criterion workload-aware migration (WAM), the proposed strategy selects a source host machine, a destination host machine, and a VM on the source host machine carrying out the task of the VM migration. Experimental results and analyses show, through comparison with other peer research works, that the proposed method can effectively avoid VM migrations caused by momentary peak workload values, significantly lower the number of VM migrations, and dynamically reach and maintain a resource and workload balance for virtual machines promoting an improved utilization of resources in the entire data center.

The platform for cloud computing offers virtualization and a dynamic pool of resources to the consumers of the cloud. The acceptance and demand of cloud is growing on a regular basis. Cloud computing offers utility-based consumer services across the globe on a pay as you go strategy. Live Virtual Machine (VM) migration sets the basic foundation for cloud management. It hasakey role in reducing operating expenditure and revising quality of service without disruption of cloud services running in the VM. A lot of research has been done to yield better performance in live VM migration and has seen noteworthy development and accomplishment. However, some crucial problems require results and enhancement. With the growth of new cloud computing models like Mobile Edge Computing, certain problems related to optimization need to be addressed. The primary aim of this research work is to emphasize on optimum functioning of live migration. A migration algorithm to consolidate the computational resources, storage resources and network resources dynamically with a two-stage heuristic hybrid evolutionary algorithm is discussed. The resources are consolidated to cut down the energy and cost utilization depending upon the evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization and the Ant Colony Optimization algorithms. These algorithms can rapidly identify the migrating virtual machines and locate their positions respectively.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, a large amount of user information needs to be uploaded to the cloud server for computing and storage. Side-channel attacks steal the private information of other virtual machines by coresident virtual machines to bring huge security threats to edge computing. Virtual machine migration technology is currently the main way to defend against side-channel attacks. VM migration can effectively prevent attackers from realizing coresident virtual machines, thereby ensuring data security and privacy protection of edge computing based on the Internet of Things. This paper considers the relevance between application services and proposes a VM migration strategy based on service correlation. This strategy defines service relevance factors to quantify the degree of service relevance, build VM migration groups through service relevance factors, and effectively reduce communication overhead between servers during migration, design and implement the VM memory migration based on the post-copy method, effectively reduce the occurrence of page fault interruption, and improve the efficiency of VM migration.

Key Steps

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.

Green cloud data center has become a research hotspot of virtualized cloud computing architecture. And load balancing has also been one of the most important goals in cloud data centers. Since live virtual machine (VM) migration technology is widely used and studied in cloud computing, we have focused on location selection (migration policy) of live VM migration for power saving and load balancing. We propose a novel approach MOGA-LS, which is a heuristic and self-adaptive multiobjective optimization algorithm based on the improved genetic algorithm (GA). This paper has presented the specific design and implementation of MOGA-LS such as the design of the genetic operators, fitness values, and elitism. We have introduced the Pareto dominance theory and the simulated annealing (SA) idea into MOGA-LS and have presented the specific process to get the final solution, and thus, the whole approach achieves a long-term efficient optimization for power saving and load balancing. The experimental results demonstrate that MOGA-LS evidently reduces the total incremental power consumption and better protects the performance of VM migration and achieves the balancing of system load compared with the existing research. It makes the result of live VM migration more high-effective and meaningful.

Cloud computing is an internet provisioned method for sharing the resources on demand by network management, storage, services, applications and the serves that necessitate management optimal effort. VMM (virtual machine migration) plays a major role in enhancing the resource utilization, application isolation, processing nodes, fault tolerance in VMs for enhancing nodes portability and for maximizing the efficiency of physical server. For balancing the clouds with resources for the enhanced performance, varied users are served with application deployment in the cloud environment is considered as the major task. The user can rent or request the resources when it becomes significant. The emphasis of this paper is on different energy VM energy efficient module as per machine learning methods. While allocating the VMs to the host machines, MBFD (Modified Best Fit Decreasing) is considered and the classification of host machine capability such as overloaded, normal loaded and underloaded is executed according to SVM (Support vector machine). SVM is utilized as a classifier for analyzing the MBFD algorithm and for the classification of the host as per the job properties. In this procedure, the numbers of jobs that are not allocated are examined via simulation which is computed by means of time consumption, energy consumption and a total number of migrations.

Cloud computing provides the opportunity to migrate virtual machines to “follow-the-green” data centres. That is, to migrate virtual machines between green data centres on the basis of clean energy availability, to mitigate the environmental impact of carbon footprint emissions and energy consumption. The virtual machine migration problem can be modelled to maximize the utility of computing resources or minimizing the cost of using computing resources. However, this would ignore the network energy consumption and its impact on the overall CO2 emissions. Unless this is taken into account the extra data traffic due to migration of data could then cause an increase in brown energy consumption and eventually lead to an unintended increase in carbon footprint emissions. Energy consumption is a key aspect in deploying distributed service in cloud networks within decentralized service delivery architectures. In this paper, the authors address an optimization view of the problem of locating a set of cloud services on a set of sites green data centres managed by a service provider or hybrid cloud computing brokerage. The authors’ goal is to minimize the overall network energy consumption and carbon footprint emissions for accessing the cloud services for any pair of data centres i and j. The authors propose an optimization migration model based on the development of integer linear programming (ILP) models, to identify the leverage of green energy sources with data centres and the energy consumption of migrating VMs.

Green cloud data center has become a research hotspot of virtualized cloud computing architecture. Since live virtual machine (VM) migration technology is widely used and studied in cloud computing, we have focused on the VM placement selection of live migration for power saving. We present a novel heuristic approach which is called PS-ABC. Its algorithm includes two parts. One is that it combines the artificial bee colony (ABC) idea with the uniform random initialization idea, the binary search idea, and Boltzmann selection policy to achieve an improved ABC-based approach with better global exploration’s ability and local exploitation’s ability. The other one is that it uses the Bayes theorem to further optimize the improved ABC-based process to faster get the final optimal solution. As a result, the whole approach achieves a longer-term efficient optimization for power saving. The experimental results demonstrate that PS-ABC evidently reduces the total incremental power consumption and better protects the performance of VM running and migrating compared with the existing research. It makes the result of live VM migration more high-effective and meaningful.

Self Organizing

Cloud computing, with its great potential in low cost and demanding services, is a good computing platform. Modern data centers for cloud computing are facing the difficulty of consistently increasing complexity because of the expanding quantity of clients and their enlarging resource demands. A great deal of efforts are currently focused on giving the cloud framework with autonomic behavior , so it can take decision about virtual machine (VM) management over the datacenter without intervention of human beings. Most of the self-organizing solutions results in eager migration, which attempts to diminish the amount of working servers virtual machines. These self-organizing resolution produce needless migration due to unpredictable workload. So also it consume huge amounts of electrical energy during unnecessary migration process. To overcome this issue, this project develop one novel VM migration scheme called eeadSelfCloud. The proposed schema is used to change the virtual machine in a cloud center that requires a lot of factors, such as basic requirements for resources during virtual machine setup, dynamic resource allocation, top software loading, software execution, and power saving at the Data Center. Data Center Utilization, Average Node Utilization, Request Rejection Ration, Number of Hop Count and Power Consumption are taken as constraint for measuring the proposed approach. The analysis report depicted that the proposed approach performs best than the other existing approaches.

Background: Cloud computing is one of the prominent technology revolutions around us. It is changing the ways the consumer expends services, changing the ways the organization develop and run applications and is completely reshaping the old business models in multiple industries. Cloud service providers need large-scale data centres for offering cloud resources to users, the electric power consumed by these data centres has become a concrete and prudential concern. Most of the energy is dissipated in these data centres due to underutilized hosts which also subsidies to global warming. The broadly adept technology is virtual machine migration in cloud computing so our main focus is to save energy. Objective: Virtual machine (VM) migration can reap various objectives like load balancing, ubiquitous computing, power management, fault tolerance, server maintenance, etc. This paper presents an energy-oriented mechanism for VM migration based on firefly optimization that reduces energy consumption and no. of VM migrations to a great extent. Method: A Firefly optimization (FFO) oriented VM migration mechanism has been proposed which allocates tasks to the physical machines in cloud data centres. It strives to migrates high loaded VMs from one physical node to another physical node, which induces minimum energy consumption after VM migration. Results: The empirical result shows that the FFO based mechanism implemented in the CloudSim simulator performs better in terms of number of hosts saved up to 13.91% as contrast to First Fit Decreasing (FFD) algorithm and 8.21% as compared to Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). It reduced energy consumption up to 12.76% as compared to FFD and 7.78% as compared to ACO and ultimately lesser number of migrations up to 52.49% when compared to FFD and 44.51% as compared to ACO. Conclusion: The proposed scheme performs better in terms of saving hosts, reduced energy consumption and lesser number of migrations in contrast to FFD and ACO techniques. The research paper also presents challenges and issues in cloud computing, VM migration process, VM migration techniques, their comparative review as well.
