A Survey on Scheduling Based Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the next generation of technology which unifies everything into one. It is an on demand service because it offers dynamic flexible resource allocation for reliable and guaranteed services in pay as-you-use manner to public. In Cloud computing multiple cloud users can request number of cloud services simultaneously. So there must be a provision that all resources are made available to requesting user in efficient manner to satisfy their need. In this paper a review of various policies for dynamic resource allocation in cloud computing is shown based on Topology Aware Resource Allocation (TARA), Linear Scheduling Strategy for Resource Allocation and Dynamic Resource Allocation for Parallel Data Processing. Moreover, significance, advantages and limitations of using Resource Allocation in Cloud computing systems is also discussed. The other challenges of resource allocation are meeting customer demands and application requirements. In this paper, various resource allocation strategies and their challenges are discussed in detail. It is believed that this paper would benefit both cloud users and researchers in overcoming the challenges faced.
