Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm in which information and computing services can be accessed from a Web browser by clients. Understanding of the characteristics of computer service performance has become critical for service applications in cloud computing. For the commercial success of this new computing paradigm, the ability to deliver guaranteed Quality of Services (QoS) is crucial. Based on the Service level agreement, the requests are processed in the cloud centers in different modes. This paper analyzes a finite-buffer multi-server queuing system where client requests have two arrival modes. It is assumed that each arrival mode is serviced by one or more Virtual machines, and both the modes have equal probabilities of receiving service. Various performance measures are obtained and optimal cost policy is presented with numerical results. The genetic algorithm is employed to search the optimal values of various parameters for the system.

Computing Paradigm

In Cloud Computing, the virtualization of IT infrastructure enables consolidation and pooling of IT resources so they are shared over diverse applications to offset the limitation of shrinking resources and growing business needs. Cloud Computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. It extends Information Technology's existing capabilities. In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fast growing segments of the IT industry. For the commercial success of this new computing paradigm, the ability to deliver guaranteed Quality of Services is crucial. Based on the Service Level Agreement, the requests are processed in the cloud centers in different modes. This chapter deals with Quality of Services and optimal management of cloud centers with different arrival modes. For this purpose, the authors consider a finite-buffer multi-server queuing system where client requests have different arrival modes. It is assumed that each arrival mode is serviced by one or more virtual machines, and different modes have equal probabilities of receiving services. Various performance measures are obtained and optimal cost policy is presented with numerical results. A genetic algorithm is employed to search optimal values of various parameters for the system.

The cloud computing has given services to the users throughout the world during recent years. The cloud computing services have been founded according to ‘As-Pay-You-Go’ model and some leading enterprises give these services. The giving these cloud-computing services has been developed every day and these requirements necessitate for more infrastructures and Internet providers (IPs). The nodes of data centers consume a lot of energy in cloud structure and disseminate noticeable amount of carbon dioxide into the environment. We define a framework and structure for cloud environment of efficient energy in the present paper. We examine the present problems and challenges based on this structure and then present and model management algorithms and source allocation in cloud computing environment in order to manage energy in addition to considering Service Level Agreement. The proposed algorithm has been implemented by cloudsim simulator where the obtained results from simulation of real-time data indicate that the proposed method is superior to previous techniques in terms of energy consumption and observance of Service Level Agreement. Similarly, number of live migration of virtual machines and quantity of transferred data has been improved.

Cloud computing technology has gained the attention of researchers in recent years. Almost every application is using cloud computing in one way or another. Virtualization allows running many virtual machines on a single physical computer by sharing its resources. Users can store their data on datacenter and run their applications from anywhere using the internet and pay as per service level agreement documents accordingly. It leads to an increase in demand for cloud services and may decrease the quality of service. This paper presents a priority-based selection of virtual machines by cloud service provider. The virtual machines in the cloud datacenter are configured as Amazon EC2 and algorithm is simulated in cloud-sim simulator. The results justify that proposed priority-based virtual machine algorithm shortens the makespan, by 11.43 % and 5.81 %, average waiting time by 28.80 % and 24.50%, and cost of using the virtual machine by 21.24% and 11.54% as compared to FCFS and ACO respectively, hence improving quality of service.

The privacy, handling, management and security of information in a cloud environment are complex and tedious tasks to achieve. With minimum investment and reduced cost of operations an organization can avail and apply the benefits of cloud computing into its business. This computing paradigm is based upon a pay as per your usage model. Moreover, security, privacy, compliance, risk management and service level agreement are critical issues in cloud computing environment. In fact, there is dire need of a model which can tackle and handle all the security and privacy issues. Therefore, we suggest a CSPCR model for evaluating the preparation of an organization to handle or to counter the threats, hazards in cloud computing environment. CSPCR discusses rules and regulations which are considered as pre-requisites in migrating or shifting to cloud computing services.

Allocation Process

BACKGROUND: Cloud computing is considered as an on-demand service resource with the applications towards data center on pay per user basis. For allocating the resources appropriately for the satisfaction of user needs, an effective and reliable resource allocation method is required. Because of the enhanced user demand, the allocation of resources has now considered as a complex and challenging task when a physical machine is overloaded, Virtual Machines share its load by utilizing the physical machine resources. Previous studies lack in energy consumption and time management while keeping the Virtual Machine at the different server in turned on state. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this research work is to propose an effective resource allocation scheme for allocating the Virtual Machine from an ad hoc sub server with Virtual Machines. EXECUTION MODEL: The execution of the research has been carried out into two sections, initially, the location of Virtual Machines and Physical Machine with the server has been taken place and subsequently, the cross-validation of allocation is addressed. For the sorting of Virtual Machines, Modified Best Fit Decreasing algorithm is used and Multi-Machine Job Scheduling is used while the placement process of jobs to an appropriate host. Artificial Neural Network as a classifier, has allocated jobs to the hosts. Measures, viz. Service Level Agreement violation and energy consumption are considered and fruitful results have been obtained with a 37.7 of reduction in energy consumption and 15% improvement in Service Level Agreement violation.

It has already been proven that VMs are over-utilized in the initial stages and are underutilized in the later stages. Due to the random utilization of the CPU, resources are sometimes heavily loaded whereas other resources are idle. Load imbalance causes service level agreement (SLA) violations resulting in poor quality of service (QoS) aided by the imperfect management of resources. An effective load balancing mechanism helps to achieve balanced utilization, which maximizes the throughput, availability, and reliability and reduces the response and migration time. The proposed algorithm can effectively minimize the response and the migration time and maximize reliability, and throughput. This research also helps to understand the load balancing policies and analysis of other research works.

Cloud Computing is not a revolution; it’s an evolution of computer science and technology emerging by leaps and bounds, in order to merge all computer science tools and technologies. Cloud Computing technology is hottest to do research and explore new horizons of next generations of Computer Science. There are number of cloud services providers (Amazon EC2), Rackspace Cloud, Terremark and Google Compute Engine) but still enterprises and common users have a number of concerns over cloud service providers. Still there is lot of weakness, challenges and issues are barrier for cloud service providers in order to provide cloud services according to SLA (Service Level agreement). Especially, service provisioning according to SLAs is core objective of each cloud service provider with maximum performance as per SLA. We have identified those challenges issues, as well as proposed new methodology as “SLA (Service Level Agreement) Driven Orchestration Based New Methodology for Cloud Computing Services”. Currently, cloud service providers are using “orchestrations” fully or partially to automate service provisioning but we are trying to integrate and drive orchestration flows from SLAs. It would be new approach to provision cloud service and deliver cloud service as per SLA, satisfying QoS standards.

In this chapter we are focusing on reliability, fault tolerance and quality of service in cloud computing. The flexible and scalable property of dynamically fetching and relinquishing computing resources in a cost-effective and device-independent manner with minimal management effort or service provider interaction the demand for Cloud computing paradigm has increased dramatically in last few years. Though lots of enhancement took place, cloud computing paradigm is still subject to a large number of system failures. As a result, there is an increasing concern among community regarding the reliability and availability of Cloud computing services. Dynamically provisioning of resources allows cloud computing environment to meet casually varying resource and service requirements of cloud customer applications. Quality of Service (QoS) plays an important role in the affective allocation of resources and has been widely investigated in the Cloud Computing paradigm.
