Software-defined networks for resource allocation in cloud computing: A survey

• A comprehensive literature review of pertinent studies on resource allocation in cloud computing based software defined networks. Thematic taxonomy for classifying current software-defined networks computing. Lesson learned from in-depth critical proposed taxonomy. Major future trends are discussed SDN adaptation the environment. Cloud has a shared set resources, including physical servers, networks, storage, and user applications. Resource is issue computing, especially Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The decision-making process network non-trivial as it handled by switches routers. Moreover, concept drifts resulting changing demands among problems affecting data center needs agile elastic control functions with resources to ensure proper virtual machine (VM) operations, traffic performance, energy conservation. Software-Defined Network (SDN) proffers new opportunities blueprint management handle services while dynamically updating requirements running VMs. inclusion an managing infrastructure better empowers making easier allocate resources. In this survey, we discuss survey SDN. It noted that various related did not contain all required requirements. This study intended enhance mechanisms involve both domains. Consequently, analyze utilized researchers; categorize evaluate them measured parameters presented. also contributes understanding core research will allow researchers obtain further information about possible strategies relevant IaaS allocation.
