Resource-Aware Allocation and Load-Balancing Algorithms for Cloud Computing

Abstract

Dynamic cloud computing technique enables resources to be assigned to different clients based on the current demand of each client turning the cloud to a limitless computational platform with limitless storage space which improves the performance of cloud services. To achieve best resource allocation in dynamic hosting frameworks, cloud service providers should provision resources intelligently to all clients. Cloud computing empowers consumers to access online resources using the internet, from anywhere at any time without considering the underlying hardware, technical management, and maintenance problems of the original resources. In this chapter, the authors present a detail study of various resource allocation and other scheduling challenges as well as cloud simulation frameworks tools like CloudSim and ICanCloud.
