Reasoning Based Virtual Machine Mapping Toward Physical Machine

Cloud computing is an arising paradigm to run and hosts a number of applications and services. These computing services are accommodated by a set of virtual machines. These virtual machines are an abstraction of real servers or physical machines. A physical machine can hosts a number of virtual machines, depending on its capacity. Virtual machine placement has a direct effect on the quality of the services for both end-users and cloud service providers. In this study, we address the problem of virtual machine placement and migration for minimization of resources and power consumption. We formulate this problem as a multi-objective optimization and propose a resource-aware reasoning based scheme with state-of-the-art solutions. The simulations results with real-world traces show that the integrated schemes use a fewer number of physical servers to accommodate more virtual machines.
