Optimum Resource Allocation using Specification Matching and Priority Based Method in Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is summed up as a different model for allowing favorable, network as per demand to use shared devices of computational resources which are collected and then released with marginal management effort or interaction with any client or any service provider. Cloud computing is a well-known technology in the pasture of information technology that provides computing as a service. In cloud computing environment the resources are provisioned on the basis of demand, as and when required. A large number of cloud users can request a number of cloud services at the same time. Due to increase in the usage of cloud computing there is a need for a efficient and effective resource allocation algorithm which can be used for proper usage of the resources and also check that the resource is not wastage. In this we propose a priority based resource allocation algorithm which can be used for proper allocation of resources and also the resources are allocated efficiently and effectively. In this paper, two strategies are proposed for the purpose of optimum resource allocation in which the first approach uses the concept of specification matching and second uses the concept of priority based approach. In the first approach, different types of resources (virtual machine) are allocated by taking three parameters into consideration: processing element, main memory, and network bandwidth. In the second approach, one parameter is considered namely: Priority. In both strategies, users are allowed to submit the parameters during cloudlet submission. The user inserted parameters will then be considered while allocating resources to them. The objectives of this research are to improve utilization of resources and reduce the request loss.
