Cloud datacenters consume enormous energy and generate heat, which affects the environment. Hence, there must be proper management of resources in the datacenter for optimum usage of energy. Virtualization enabled computing improves the performance of the datacenters in terms of these parameters. Therefore, Virtual Machines (VMs) management is a required activity in the datacenter, which selects the VMs from the overloaded host for migration, VM migration from the underutilized host, and VM placement in the suitable host. In this paper, a method (SMA-LinR) has been developed using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) integrated with Linear Regression (LinR), which predicts the CPU utilization and determines the overloading of the host. Further, this predicted value is used to place the VMs in the appropriate PM. The main aim of this research is to reduce energy consumption (EC) and service level agreement violations (SLAV). Extensive simulations have been performed on real workload data, and simulation results indicate that SMA-LinR provides better EC and service quality improvements.

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.

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.

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.

Increasing demand of computing resources and the popularity of cloud computing have led the organizations to establish of large-scale data centers. To handle varying workloads, allocating resources to Virtual Machines, placing the VMs in the most suitable physical machine at data centers without violating the Service Level Agreement remains a big challenge for the cloud providers. The energy consumption and performance degradation are the prime focus for the data centers in providing services by strictly following the SLA. In this paper we are suggesting a model for minimizing the energy consumption and performance degradation without violating SLA. The experiments conducted have shown a reduction in SLA violation by nearly 10%.

Cloud computing has revolutionized the working models of IT industry and increasing the demand of cloud resources which further leads to increase in energy consumption of data centers. Virtual machines (VMs) are consolidated dynamically to reduce the number of host machines inside data centers by satisfying the customer's requirements and quality of services (QoS). Moreover, for using the services of cloud environment every cloud user has a service level agreement (SLA) that deals with energy and performance trade-offs. As, the excess of consolidation and migration may degrade the performance of system, therefore, this paper focuses the overall performance of the system instead of energy consumption during the consolidation process to maintain a trust level between cloud's users and providers. In addition, the paper proposed three different heuristics for virtual machine (VM) placement based on current and previous usage of resources. The proposed heuristics ensure a high level of service level agreements (SLA) and better performance of ESM metric in comparison to previous research.

: With the establishment of virtualized datacenters on a large scale, cutting-edge technology requires more energy to deliver the services 24*7 hours. With this expansion and accumulation of information on a massive scale on datacenters, the consumption of excessive amount of power results in high operational costs and power consumption. Therefore, there is an urgent need to make the environment more adaptive and dynamic, where the overutilization and underutilization of hosts is well known to the system and active measures can be taken accordingly. To serve this purpose, an energy efficient method for the detection of overloaded and under-loaded hosts has been proposed in this paper. For implementing VM migration, VM placement decision has also been taken to save energy and reduce SLA (Service Level Agreement) rate over the cloud. In the paper, a novel adaptive heuristics approach has been presented that concerns with the utilization of resources for a dynamic consolidation of VMs based on the mustered data from the usage of resources by VMs, while ensuring the high level of relevancy to the SLA. After identification of under-load and overload hosts, VM placement decision has been taken in the way that takes minimum energy consumption. Minimum migration policy has been adopted in the proposed methodology to minimize execution time. The validation of effectiveness and efficiency of the suggested approach has been performed by using real-world workload traces in CloudSim simulator.

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.

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.


Dynamic resource allocation of cloud data centers is implemented with the use of virtual machine migration. Selected virtual machines (VM) should be migrated on appropriate destination servers. This is a critical step and should be performed according to several criteria. It is proposed to use the criteria of minimum resource wastage and service level agreement violation. The optimization problem of the VM placement according to two criteria is formulated, which is equivalent to the well-known main assignment problem in terms of the structure, necessary conditions, and the nature of variables. It is suggested to use the Hungarian method or to reduce the problem to a closed transport problem. This allows the exact solution to be obtained in real time. Simulation has shown that the proposed approach outperforms widely used bin-packing heuristics in both criteria.
