Tune the Resource Provisioning & Virtual Machine Migration for Cloud Environment

193 Abstract— Cloud computing has gained tremendous momentum in opening up the new vision of computing as a utility. Cloud computing includes elements from grid computing, autonomic and utility computing into an pioneering architecture where users applications as well as data is being stored on centrally located cloud data centers and can be run on virtual computing resources as virtual machines . But at the same time such distinctive features poses many challenges. The speedy shift towards the clouds has forced researchers to devise competent and proficient mechanisms to ensure that the resources are allocated to the clients in optimal fashion ensuring fair sharing of VMs. This paper proposes a tuning mechanism for efficient resource provisioning guarantying required quality of service. The proposed tuning mechanism also considers load balancing into account. This technique can also be used for virtual machine migration.
