Elastic Virtual Machine for Fine-grained Cloud Resource Provisioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elasticity is one of the distinguishing characteristics associated with Cloud computing emergence. It enables cloud resources to auto-scale to cope with workload demand. Multi-instances horizontal scaling is the common scalability architecture in Cloud; however, its current implementation is coarse-grained, while it considers Virtual Machine (VM) as a scaling unit, this implies additional scaling-out overhead and limits it to specific applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose Elastic VM as a fine-grained vertical scaling architecture. Our results proved that Elastic VM architecture implies less consumption of resources, mitigates Service Level Objectives (SLOs) violation, and avoids scaling-up overhead. Furthermore, it scales broader range of applications including databases.

Cloud computing is a model of sharing computing resources over any communication network by using virtualization. Virtualization allows a server to be sliced in virtual machines. Each virtual machine has its own operating system/applications that rapidly adjust resource allocation. Cloud computing offers many benefits, one of them is elastic resource allocation. To fulfill the requirements of c...
متن کاملNavigating the Public Cloud Labyrinth: A Study of Price, Capacity, and Scaling Granularity Trade-offs
Public clouds offer numerous virtual machine (VM) types with complex trade-offs that tenants must navigate for cost-effective resource procurement. We identify three key qualitative axes using which these trade-offs can be succinctly expressed: price dynamism, offered capacity dynamism, and granularity of resource scaling. We offer several examples of contemporary VM offerings and where they fi...

Although cloud computing has gained sufficient popularity in the last two years, there are still some key impediments to enterprise adoption. Cloud management is one of the top challenges. The ability of on-the-fly partitioning hardware resources into virtual machine(VM) instances facilitates the cloud to provide elastic computing environment to users. But the flexibility of resource provisioni...
