Implementation of an Energy Saving Cloud Infrastructure with Virtual Machine Power Usage Monitoring and Live Migration on OpenStack

This work implement a cloud infrastructure that can monitor the status of OpenStack and monitor the real-time status of virtual machine on OpenStack then achieve to energy saving through live migration. The projects of monitoring include the utilization of CPU, load of memory, and power consumption. These data show in real-time, completely monitor the real-time status of physical machines and virtual machines. It also record the utilization and power consumption of physical machines then show on this cloud infrastructure, to provide experimental evidence for the user as a reference. Base on the power consumption we monitoring, we can automatically allocate virtual machines on every physical machines by live migration, to balance the power consumption of every physical machines. Its not only can avoid idle and waste of resources but also can avoid reducing machine life because of the physical machines always keep in high usage, and achieve to power saving.
