Strategies for managing resources well in Federated Cloud environments for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Abstract

Increased demand for computational resources is a direct result of the maturation and expansion of the cloud computing sector. Sometimes it might be challenging for a single CSP to achieve the promised QoS and dynamically handle all sorts of resource demands. As a unified paradigm, cloud federation allows CSPs to pool their idle resources and reap financial and quality-of-service (QoS) advantages, such as increased availability and dependability. Consequently, the cloud federation is able to keep QoS consistent even when resource demands surge unexpectedly and make use of computing resources even when they are not in high demand. Therefore, an effective resource management approach for the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) service of CSP in cloud federation is necessary to keep QoS intact in terms of availability and dependability and to make use of unused computing resources. This dissertation describes the various considerations that must be made when designing a framework for efficient resource management that enables individual CSPs to seamlessly provision their IaaS service in order to maximise both their individual profit and the availability and reliability of their services for their customers. Consequently, the following research issues are the focus of this paper and will be examined in detail. In this research paper, a cloud federation formation issue is introduced, and it is based on the hedonic coalition game. The effort aims to increase the total profit and availability of federations created among reputable CSPs. This framework estimates the quality and trust of each CSP using the Beta Mixture Model and then invites only the most trustworthy ones to join the federation. To further assess the value of the federation's computer resources, a general cost model is presented. The suggested paradigm culminates in a stable federation split in which no CSP is incentivized to switch federations.
