Bio-inspired technique for the Virtual Machine Migration in Green Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the architecture in which virtual machines, data centers, hosts, and brokers are involved in the communication. The green cloud computing is the new version of cloud computing which uses less energy as compared to traditional cloud architecture. Therefore, the green cloud computing is the requirement of the today's technology. The virtual machines will be selected on the basis of the initial population which is failure rate and execution time of each virtual machine. Due to virtual machine overloading, the execution time and space utilization are increased in the network. The proposed improvement is based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm which can select the best virtual machine on which cloudlet will be migrated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is testing on cloudsim in terms of execution time and energy consumption. The simulation results demonstrated that execution time and energy consumption of ACO is least as compared to Three-threshold energy saving (TESA) Algorithm.
