Provided that the use of docker containers is commonly favoured over traditional virtual machines due to their apparent advantages in optimizing resource utilization, tracking such docker applications often becomes very important. It is essential for an enterprise using multiple numbers of docker containers to evaluate and track these applications. We will look at how we can use the “Round Robin Database” (RRD) to create our own database and store timely docker statistics within it. We can then extract and evaluate data from this archive, using various techniques. We will focus on metrics such as memory usage, memory percentage, network input, network output and CPU percentage in this paper. To obtain docker statistics, we will use the docker python software development kit (SDK) and the python-rrdtool module to store the data in the 'rrd' format. And then for basic interpretations, we would be able to access data and turn them into graphs.

Nowadays, cities are intended to change to a smart city. According to recent studies, the use of data from contributors and physical objects in many cities play a key element in the transformation towards a smart city. The ‘smart city’ standard is characterized by omnipresent computing resources for the observing and critical control of such city’s framework, healthcare management, environment, transportation, and utilities. Mist computing is considered a computing prototype that performs IoT applications at the edge of the network. To maintain the Quality of Service (QoS), it is impressive to employ context-aware computing as well as fog computing simultaneously. In this article, the author implements an optimization strategy applying a dynamic resource allocation method based upon genetic algorithm and reinforcement learning in combination with a load balancing procedure. The proposed model comprises four layers i.e. IoT layer, Mist layer, Fog layer, and Cloud layer. Authors have proposed a load balancing technique called M2F balancer which regulates the traffic in the network incessantly, accumulates the information about each server load, transfer the incoming query, and disseminate them among accessible servers equally using dynamic resources allocation method. To validate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm makespan, resource utilization, and the degree of imbalance (DOI) are considered as the scheduling parameter. The proposed method is being compared with the Least count, Round Robin, and Weighted Round Robin. In the end, the results demonstrate that the solutions enhance QoS in the mist assisted cloud environment concerning maximization resource utilization and minimizing the makespan. Therefore, M2FBalancer is an effective method to utilize the resources efficiently by ensuring uninterrupted service. Consequently, it improves performance even at peak times.

Cloud Computing is an emerging field in the IT industry. Cloud computing provides computing services over the Internet. Cloud Computing demand increasing drastically, which has enforced cloud service provider to ensure proper resource utilization with less cost and less energy consumption. In recent time various consolidation problems found in cloud computing like the task, VM, and server consolidation. These consolidation problems become challenging for resource utilization in cloud computing. We found in the literature review that there is a high level of coupling in resource utilization, cost, and energy consumption. The main challenge for cloud service provider is to maximize the resource utilization, reduce the cost and minimize the energy consumption. The dynamic task consolidation of virtual machines can be a way to solve the problem. This paper presents the comparative study of various task consolidation algorithms.

Cloud computing is gaining increasing attention from the industry and research; however, there is a lack of advanced Cloud software development tools. While Platform as a Service (PaaS) brings convenient software development platform for application development, it often comes with limitations in terms of application architecture functionality and requires provider lock-in. The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model may sound like a solution to these problems by enabling application development freedom; however, it necessitates operation at the lower level of virtual machines and snapshots. In this chapter, the authors present CloudScale: a low-overhead middleware framework that migrates Java applications seamlessly to the Cloud with minimal changes in the application code. They focus on the main ideas behind CloudScale and its influence on solving Cloud software development and deployment problems with minimal overhead and Cloud-awareness required from developers.

Dynamic Resource Provisioning

Cloud computing has become an innovative computing paradigm, which aims at providing reliable, customized, Quality of Service (QoS) and guaranteed computing infrastructures for users. Efficient resource provisioning is required in cloud for effective resource utilization. For resource provisioning, cloud provides virtualized computing resources that are dynamically scalable. This property of cloud differentiates it from the traditional computing paradigm. But the initialization of a new virtual instance causes a several minutes delay in the hardware resource allocation. Furthermore, cloud provides a fault tolerant service to its clients using the virtualization. But, in order to attain higher resource utilization over this technology, a technique or a strategy is needed using which virtual machines can be deployed over physical machines by predicting its need in advance so that the delay can be avoided. To address these issues, a value based prediction model in this paper is proposed for resource provisioning in which a resource manager is used for dynamically allocating or releasing a virtual machine depending upon the resource usage rate. In order to know the recent resource usage rate, the resource manager uses sliding window to analyze the resource usage rate and to predict the system behavior in advance. By predicting the resource requirements in advance, a lot of processing time can be saved. Earlier, a server has to perform all the calculations regarding the resource usage that in turn wastes a lot of processing power thus decreasing its overall capacity to handle the incoming request. The main feature of the proposed model is that a lot of load is being shifted from the individual server to the resource manager as it performs all the calculations and therefore the server is free to handle the incoming requests to its full capacity.

Vm Consolidation

We consider a cloud data center, in which the service provider supplies virtual machines (VMs) on hosts or physical machines (PMs) to its subscribers for computation in an on-demand fashion. For the cloud data center, we propose a task consolidation algorithm based on task classification (i.e., computation-intensive and data-intensive) and resource utilization (e.g., CPU and RAM). Furthermore, we design a VM consolidation algorithm to balance task execution time and energy consumption without violating a predefined service level agreement (SLA). Unlike the existing research on VM consolidation or scheduling that applies none or single threshold schemes, we focus on a double threshold (upper and lower) scheme, which is used for VM consolidation. More specifically, when a host operates with resource utilization below the lower threshold, all the VMs on the host will be scheduled to be migrated to other hosts and then the host will be powered down, while when a host operates with resource utilization above the upper threshold, a VM will be migrated to avoid using 100% of resource utilization. Based on experimental performance evaluations with real-world traces, we prove that our task classification based energy-aware consolidation algorithm (TCEA) achieves a significant energy reduction without incurring predefined SLA violations.
