Virtual machine (VM) placement is very important for cloud platforms. While techniques, such as live virtual machine migration, are very useful to balance the load in the data centers, they are expensive operations. In this position paper, we propose to minimize the chance of the load hot spots in the data center by applying the workload patterns of the VMs in the virtual machine placement algo...

Server consolidation using virtualization technology has become an important technology to improve the energy e ciency of data centers. Virtual machine placement is the key in the server consolidation. In the past few years, many approaches to the virtual machine placement have been proposed. However, existing virtual machine placement approaches to the virtual machine placement problem conside...

As underlying infrastructure of cloud computing platform, datacenter is seriously underutilized, however, its operating costs is high. In this paper, we implement virtual machines placement algorithm in CloudSim using constraint programming approach. We first formulate the problem of virtual machines placement in virtualized datacenters as a variant of multi-dimensions bin packing problem, and ...

Cloud Computing Datacenters host millions of virtual machines (VMs) on real world scenarios. In this context, Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) is one of the most challenging problems in cloud infrastructure management, considering also the large number of possible optimization criteria and different formulations that could be studied. VMP literature include relevant topics such as energy-efficie...

With the ever-spreading user-base in cloud datacenters, it has become increasingly challenging to satisfy each user’s service demand. Resource requirements or service demands of cloud users are embedded in virtual machines (VM). Virtual machines are software extensions of physical machines such that a single physical machine can generate a number of virtual machines and hence, can service multi...

Virtual machine placement is a process of mapping virtual machines to physical machines. The optimal placement is important for improving power efficiency and resource utilization in a cloud computing environment. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective ant colony system algorithm for the virtual machine placement problem. The goal is to efficiently obtain a set of non-dominated solutions (...
