Towards an autonomic performance management approach for a cloud broker environment using a decomposition–coordination based methodology

Abstract

Efficient resource allocation of computational resources to services is one of the predominant challenges in a cloud computing environment. Furthermore, the advent of cloud brokerage and federated cloud computing systems increases the complexity of cloud resource management. Cloud brokers are considered third party organizations that work as intermediaries between the service providers and the cloud providers. Cloud brokers rent different types of cloud resources from a number of cloud providers and sublet these resources to the requesting service providers. In this paper, an autonomic performance management approach is introduced that provides dynamic resource allocation capabilities for deploying a set of services over a federated cloud computing infrastructure by considering the availability as well as the demand of the cloud computing resources. A distributed control based approach is used for providing autonomic computing features to the proposed framework via a feedback-based control loop. This distributed control based approach is developed using one of the decomposition-coordination methodology, named interaction balance, for interactive bidding of cloud computing resources. The primary goals of the proposed approach are to maintain the service level agreements, maximize the profit, and minimize the operating cost for the service providers and the cloud broker. The application of interaction balance methodology and prioritization of profit maximization for the cloud broker and the service providers during resource allocation are novel contributions of the proposed approach.

“…Assim esses autores propõem gerenciar os processos de negócios baseados em Serviços (Service-based Business Processes -SBPs) de forma elástica. Outros autores afirmam que a alocação de recursos computacionais para serviços de forma eficiente e um desafio existente no ambiente de computação em nuvem [22]. A solução desse problema proposta por autores é a utilização um corretor de nuvens (Cloud Broker) para o gerenciamento de desempenho em nuvem federada.…”

Reference [30] developed a distributed control algorithm-based approach for performance management of services hosted in distributed cloud broker environments. Their research effort introduced a novel negotiation approach between the broker and the various cloud providers for optimised allocation of resources through interactive bidding in cloud computing environment.…”

Development of a control-based performance management system for shipboard power systems

“…With the advance in computer science and mathematical programming techniques, MPC has made the design of an automated and efficient performance management framework possible for a wide range of power system applications [5][6] [7]. The interest of applying MPC in both academia and industrial practice is constantly driven by the fact that today's system is more complex than ever, therefore it is more difficult to maintain the system in admissible operating region with tight performance specifications while satisfying a variety of regulations and constraints due to environmental, productivity and safety considerations.…”
