Burstiness of Virtual Machine Resource Reservation in Cloud Using Firefly Optimization

T. Jasmine Persi, P Rajasekaran

Abstract


In computing clouds, burstiness of a virtual machine (VM) workload widely exists in real applications, where spikes usually occur a periodically with low frequency and short duration. This could be effectively handled through dynamically scaling up/down in a virtualization-based computing cloud; however, to minimize energy consumption, VMs are often highly consolidated with the minimum number of physical machines (PMs) used. In this case, to meet the dynamic runtime resource demands of VMs in a PM, some VMs have to be migrated to some other PMs, which may cause potential performance degradation. In this paper, we investigate the burstiness aware server consolidation problem from the perspective of resource reservation.
