This article proposes a system for dynamic optimization of virtual machines in a cloud to satisfy the multiple and varied requests of users and ensures the optimal use of data centre resources.

Abstract

Cloud computing appears to be an ecosystem with flexible and scalable IT resources. The finding is that cloud services are increasing considerably and resource management is a real problem. This is the case with the static allocation of virtual machines (VMs) that fail to effectively manage multiple workloads in real time. This leads to inefficiencies and high costs. This article proposes a system for dynamic optimization of virtual machines in a cloud to satisfy the multiple and varied requests of users. The main objective is to design a system that dynamically adjusts the number and configurations of VMs according to cloudlet requests, while optimizing performance and costs. This solution allows to learn, scale and remove virtual machines taking into account the variation in demand. It therefore ensures the optimal use of data centre resources.

Optimizing Cloud Resource Management Through Energy-Efficient VM Placement Techniques

Cloud computing has seen rapid growth in recent years, leading to a surge in demand for data center services. To meet this demand, data centers deploy a large number of servers, resulting in substantial energy consumption. Virtual Machine Consolidation (VMC) is an effective strategy to reduce energy usage by shutting down underutilized servers while ensuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are maintained. The VMC process comprises four key steps: detecting overloaded hosts, identifying underloaded hosts, selecting virtual machines (VMs), and determining their placement. This research presents the Energy-Efficient Virtual Machine Placement (EEVMP) approach, which aims to optimize resource utilization by selecting suitable destination hosts for migrating VMs based on utilization and resource skewness. The proposed method is evaluated using the CloudSim simulator. Experimental results show that EEVMP consistently outperforms existing placement strategies such as PABFD, IQRMC, PEBFD, ESVMP, and HVMAP in terms of energy efficiency and overall performance.
