Taxonomy of resource allocation algorithms for inner IaaS cloud data centres

Abstract

Cloud computing has become more and more popular with the widely deployment of several cloud infrastructures. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) Cloud computing replaces bare computer hardware. The cloud user will use the virtual machines (VMs) to fullfil their computing requirements. Among the components of IaaS cloud software stack, the resource allocation module is very important as it selects suitable VMs and the place to execute VMs. This paper focuses on studying and classifying algorithms used in the resource allocation module. The issues of how to apply those algorithms are also discussed.
