Proactive Fault Tolerance Policy for Virtual Machine Management in Private Cloud Environment

Cloud computing being a new delivery model has many research challenges. It opens the door to great amount of innovative methods and practices. Many researchers have come-up with novel and efficient fault tolerant solutions for the cloud. With the rapid advancement in internet technology, usage of smart devices and social networking are giving rise to tremendous amount of data and demands resources like never before. Cloud computing delivery model provides solution to the need of the day. The recent advancement in IoT, Edge computing etc, has expanded the scope of visualizing cloud computing with a different perspective. There is a need for re-provisioning the existing components of the cloud model. Most of the research on fault tolerant algorithms, mechanisms and techniques are focused on datacenters. In this paper we propose fault detection and prevention policies for VM creation lifecycle derived from cloud computing patterns
