Energy Efficient Policies in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Energy efficient processing is known as Green Cloud Computing. It is getting popular with the demand of time and become important to reduce the energy consumption of the Cloud datacenters in order to create a more nature friendly Cloud environment. In this paper, two policies are proposed i.e. minimum CPU utilization policy and low utilization host selection policy. These two policies are deciding which VM will be picked for migration and which host will be selected to reallocate that VM. The Min-Min scheduling algorithm is used to schedule the tasks at Cloud datacenter. The load balancing concept is proposed that further helps in reducing the energy consumption. The results of proposed energy efficient Cloud scenario is compared with power aware and non-power aware Clouds.
