Comparative Based Analysis of Scheduling Algorithms for Resource Management in Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud Computing (CC) is emerging as the next generation platform which would facilitate the user on pay as you use mode as per requirement. It provides a number of benefits which could not otherwise be realized. The primary aim of CC is to provide efficient access to remote and geographically distributed resources. A scheduling algorithm is needed to manage the access to the different resources. There are different types of resource scheduling technologies in CC environment. These are implemented at different levels based on different parameters like cost, performance, resource utilization, time, priority, physical distances, throughput, bandwidth, resource availability etc. In this research paper various types of resource allocation scheduling algorithms that provide efficient cloud services have been surveyed and analyzed. Based on the study of different algorithms, a classification of the scheduling algorithms on the basis of selected features has been presented.
