Virtual machine consolidation has been a widely explored topic in recent years due to Cloud Data Centers’ effect on global energy consumption. Thus, academia and companies made efforts to achieve green computing, reducing energy consumption to minimize environmental impact. By consolidating Virtual Machines into a fewer number of Physical Machines, resource provisioning mechanisms can shutdown idle Physical Machines to reduce energy consumption and improve resource utilization. However, there is a tradeoff between reducing energy consumption while assuring the Quality of Service established on the Service Level Agreement. This work introduces a Systematic Literature Review of one year of advances in virtual machine consolidation. It provides a discussion on methods used in each step of the virtual machine consolidation, a classification of papers according to their contribution, and a quantitative and qualitative analysis of datasets, scenarios, and metrics.

The demand for virtual machine requests has increased recently due to the growing number of users and applications. Therefore, virtual machine placement (VMP) is now critical for the provision of efficient resource management in cloud data centers. The VMP process considers the placement of a set of virtual machines onto a set of physical machines, in accordance with a set of criteria. The optimal solution for multi-objective VMP can be determined by using a fitness function that combines the objectives. This paper proposes a novel model to enhance the performance of the VMP decision-making process. Placement decisions are made based on a fitness function that combines three criteria: placement time, power consumption, and resource wastage. The proposed model aims to satisfy minimum values for the three objectives for placement onto all available physical machines. To optimize the VMP solution, the proposed fitness function was implemented using three optimization algorithms: particle swarm optimization with Lévy flight (PSOLF), flower pollination optimization (FPO), and a proposed hybrid algorithm (HPSOLF-FPO). Each algorithm was tested experimentally. The results of the comparative study between the three algorithms show that the hybrid algorithm has the strongest performance. Moreover, the proposed algorithm was tested against the bin packing best fit strategy. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the best fit strategy in total server utilization.

Cloud computing data centers are growing rapidly in both number and capacity to meet the increasing demands for highly-responsive computing and massive storage. Such data centers consume enormous amounts of electrical energy resulting in high operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions. The reason for this extremely high energy consumption is not just the quantity of computing resources and the power inefficiency of hardware, but rather lies in the inefficient usage of these resources. Virtual Machine [VM] consolidation involves live migration of VMs hence the capability of transferring a VM between physical servers with a close to zero down time. It is an effective way to improve the utilization of resources and increase energy efficiency in cloud data centers. VM consolidation consists of host overload/under load detection, VM selection and VM placement. In Our Proposed Model We are going to use Roulette-Wheel Selection Strategy, Where the VM selects the Instance type and Physical Machine [PM] using Roulette-Wheel Selection Mechanism Keywords—searchable encryption, dynamic update, cloud computing

The unbalanced resource utilization of physical machines (PMs) in cloud data centers could cause resource wasting, workload imbalance and even negatively impact quality of service (QoS). To address this problem, this paper proposes a multi-resource collaborative optimization control (MCOC) mechanism for virtual machine (VM) migration. It uses Gaussian model to adaptively estimate the probability that the running PMs are in the multi-resource utilization balance status. Given the estimated probability of the multi-resource utilization balance state, we propose effective selection algorithms for live VM migration between the source hosts and destination hosts, including adaptive Gaussian model-based VMs placement (AGM-VMP) algorithm and VMs consolidation (AGM-VMC) method. Experimental results show that the AGM-VMC method can effectively achieve load balance and significantly improve resource utilization, reduce data center energy consumption while guaranteeing QoS.
