Dynamic Service Assignment based on Proportional Ordering for the Adaptive Resource Management of Cloud Systems

Abstract

The key issue in providing fast and reliable access on cloud services is the effective management of resources in a cloud system. However, the high variation in cloud service access rates affects the system performance considerably when there are no default routines to handle this type of occurrence. Adaptive techniques are used in resource management to support robust systems and maintain well-balanced loads within the servers. This paper presents an adaptive resource management for cloud systems which supports the integration of intelligent methods to promote quality of service (QoS) in provisioning of cloud services. A technique of dynamically assigning cloud services to a group of cloud servers is proposed for the adaptive resource management. Initially, cloud services are collected based on the excess cloud services load and then these are deployed to the assigned cloud servers. The assignment function uses the proposed proportional ordering which efficiently assigns cloud services based on its resource consumption. The difference in resource consumption rate in all nodes is analyzed periodically which decides the execution of service assignment. Performance evaluation showed that the proposed dynamic service assignment (DSA) performed best in throughput performance compared to other resource allocation algorithms.

A Dynamic Task Distribution approach using Clustering of Data Centers and Virtual Machine Migration in Mobile Cloud Computing

“…With proper management of these resources, cloud servers can minimize or sometimes prevent overloading of the servers due to improper allocation of said resources. In [7], the approach determines servers which are overloaded with cloud services assigned and re-assigning these cloud services to servers with less load in proportions. Some of the methods and approaches were implemented as the virtual machine allocation in this paper.…”

“…The VM migration strategy proposed in this paper was based on [7]. It was discussed that nodes are servers hosting the cloud services.…”

Study of Data Placement Schemes for SNS Services in Cloud Environment

“…Both of the topology-aware and hardware-aware VM placement schemes were proposed by considering locations of physical machines that related to the associated VMs to achieve load balance [12]. In [13], the adaptive resource management scheme was proposed to provide fast and reliable cloud services.…”

Topology-based Workflow Scheduling in Commercial Clouds

“…Hassan et al in [8] presents a VM resource allocation model that dynamically and optimally utilizes VM resources to satisfy QoS requirements of media-rich cloud services or applications. Mateo et al in [9] point out that the key issue in providing fast and reliable access on cloud services is the effective management of resources and he proposes an adaptive resource management for cloud systems which supports the integration of intelligent methods to promote QoS.…”
