Virtual Machine Behaviour Identifier (VMBI) for VM Level Auto-scaling in Cloud Environment

Cloud computing is becoming popular day by day, due to high performance. Computing resources are available anywhere at any time with ‘pay as you go’ model. Virtualization is playing an important role to provide cloud services to the end users via internet. Virtualization is the emulation of physical machine. Number of Virtual Machines (VM) can be created from physical machines and can be provided to the users. Monitoring the health condition of all VMs is very difficult task for Cloud Service Provider (CSP). In this paper, we propose Virtual Machine Behavior Identifier (VMBI) for VM level auto-scaling mechanism to monitor the behavior of VMs. Pattern search optimization technique is used to optimize the VMs and self-optimization module is to update the parameter of optimization to auto-scale the VM. Keywords—Cloud computing, Auto-scaling, Virtual Machine, Optimization.
