A comprehensive survey on container resource allocation approaches in cloud computing: State-of-the-art and research challenges

Abstract

The allocation of resources in the cloud environment is efficient and vital, as it directly impacts versatility and operational expenses. Containers, like virtualization technology, are gaining popularity due to their low overhead when compared to traditional virtual machines and portability. The resource allocation methodologies in the containerized cloud are intended to dynamically or statically allocate the available pool of resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and so on to users. Despite the enormous popularity of containers in cloud computing, no systematic survey of container scheduling techniques exists. In this survey, an outline of the present works on resource allocation in the containerized cloud correlative is discussed. In this work, 64 research papers are reviewed for a better understanding of resource allocation, management, and scheduling. Further, to add extra worth to this research work, the performance of the collected papers is investigated in terms of various performance measures. Along with this, the weakness of the existing resource allocation algorithms is provided, which makes the researchers to investigate with novel algorithms or techniques.

Examining the Relationship Between Digital Payment Adoption, Tourism Restrictions, and Public Health during pandemic

“…Due to the widespread belief that physical money notes could be a means of virus transmission, the appearance of Covid-19 has raised worries about the usage of physical currency notes in financial transactions [2]. Consumers have asked several banks for their opinions on this [9]. But according to scientists, earlier studies on the development and spread of viruses show that infections may live, grow, and spread on surfaces, and physical bank notes are one possible surface for this phenomenon [19].…”

“…Preventive measures are crucial for state and federal governments, as stressed by KPMG (2020), even though official agencies say that the disease has not spread to the community level in India. A variety of control measures have been put in place by the government, such as the creation of medical and paramedical protocols, the labelling of containment zones with colour codes, and, most significantly, the unprecedented suspension of all modes of transportation and travel throughout the nation through programmes like the Janta Curfew and phased lockdowns [9] [18]. Amid the difficulties that Indian individuals are facing, worries regarding the virus's possible spread through banknotes have come to light.…”

Adaptive Threshold Tuning-based Load Balancing (ATTLB) for Cost Minimization in Cloud Computing

“…Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative technology that enables on-demand access to computing resources and gives rise to new paradigms, such as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) [1]. The fundamental innovation in cloud computing is the rapid and flexible allocation of resources via virtualization, allowing users to acquire and release resources in an agile pay-as-you-go model [2]. Users can provide virtualized resources such as virtual machines (VMs), storage, databases, networks, and services based on the changing requirements of their applications [3] [4].…”
