Monitoring and resource management taxonomy in interconnected cloud infrastructures: a survey

Abstract

Cloud users have recently expanded dramatically. The cloud service providers (CSPs) have also increased and have therefore made their infrastructure more complex. The complex infrastructure needs to be distributed appropriately to various users. Also, the advances in cloud computing have led to the development of interconnected cloud computing environments (ICCEs). For instance, ICCEs include the cloud hybrid, intercloud, multi-cloud, and federated clouds. However, the sharing of resources is not facilitated by specific proprietary technologies and access interfaces used by CSPs. Several CSPs provide similar services but have different access patterns. Data from various CSPs must be obtained and processed by cloud users. To ensure that all ICCE tenants (users and CSPs) benefit from the best CSPs, efficient resource management was suggested. Besides, it is pertinent that cloud resources be monitored regularly. Cloud monitoring is a service that works as a third-party entity between customers and CSPs. This paper discusses a complete cloud monitoring survey in ICCE, focusing on cloud monitoring and its significance. Several current open-source monitoring solutions are discussed. A taxonomy is presented and analyzed for cloud resource management.

Review on data replication strategies in single vs. interconnected cloud systems: Focus on data correlation‐aware strategies

“…This therefore resulted in the development of various resource management techniques adapted to the characteristics of interconnected clouds. [137][138][139] The number of data replication strategies dedicated to interconnected clouds is however limited. Hence, the need to develop strategies that exploit their advantages and adapt to their characteristics arises.…”

“…The advantages of relying on interconnected clouds, which translate into the availability of resources and their geographical distribution as well as the optimization of costs, encourage their adoption. This therefore resulted in the development of various resource management techniques adapted to the characteristics of interconnected clouds 137‐139 . The number of data replication strategies dedicated to interconnected clouds is however limited.…”

Enhancing Cloud Network Security with Innovative Time Series Analysis

“…Cloud network monitoring plays a crucial role in upholding the e ciency, accessibility, and protection of cloud-centric applications. It involves proactive management of infrastructure, issue resolution, and the guarantee of a smooth user experience (Nzanzu et al, 2022;Syed et al, 2017).…”
