Cloud computing is one of the distributed computing environments and utilizes several computing resources. Cloud environment uses a virtual machine to process a requested job. To balance a workload and process a job rapidly, cloud environment uses a provisioning technique and assigns a task with a status of virtual machine. However, a scheduling method for cloud computing requires a definition of virtual machine availabilities, which have an obscure meaning. In this paper, we propose Fuzzy logic driven Virtual machine Provisioning scheduling using Resource Evaluation(FVPRE). FVPRE analyzes a state of every virtual machine and actualizes a value of resource availability. Thus FVPRE provides an efficient provisioning scheduling with a precise evaluation of resource availability. FVPRE shows a high throughput and utilization for job processing on cloud environments.

There is a growing tendency toward a vehicle demand and a utilization of traffic information systems. Due to various kinds of traffic information systems and increasing of communication data, the traffic information service requires a very high IT infrastructure. A cloud computing environment is an essential approach for reducing a IT infrastructure cost. And the traffic information service needs a provisioning scheduling method for managing a resource. So we propose a provisioning scheduling with conditional probability inference (PSCPI) for the traffic information service on cloud environment. PSCPI uses a naive bayse inference technique based on a status of a virtual machine. And PSCPI allocates a job to the virtual machines on the basis of an availability of each virtual machine. Naive bayse based PSCPI provides a high throughput and an high availability of virtual machines for real-time traffic information services.

Cloud providers now face the problem of estimating the amount of computing resources required to satisfy a future workload. In this paper, a virtual machine provisioning (VMP) mechanism is designed to adapt workload fluctuation. The arrival rate of forthcoming jobs is predicted for acquiring the proper service rate by adopting an exponential smoothing (ES) method. The proper service rate is estimated to guarantee the service level agreement (SLA) constraints by using a diffusion approximation statistical model. The VMP problem is formulated as a facility location problem. Furthermore, it is characterized as the maximization of submodular function subject to the matroid constraints. A greedy-based VMP algorithm is designed to obtain the optimal virtual machine provision pattern. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed mechanism could increase the average profit efficiently without incurring significant quality of service (QoS) violations.

Cloud service is one of major technologies in modern IT business. Due to the dynamics of user demands, service providers need VM(Virtual Machine) provisioning mechanism to predict the amount of resources demanded by cloud users for the next service and to prepare the resources. VM provisioning provides the QoS to cloud user and maximize the revenue of a service provider by minimizing the expense. In this paper, we propose a new VM provisioning technique to minimize the total expense of a service provider by minimizing the expected value of the expense based on the predicted demands of users. To evaluate the effectiveness of our prediction technique, we compare the total expense of our technique with these of the other prediction techniques with a series of real trace data.

The rapid development of cloud computing and high requirements of operators requires strong support from the underlying Data Center Networks. Therefore, the effectiveness of using resources in the data center networks becomes a point of concern for operators and material for research. In this paper, we discuss the online virtual-cluster provision problem for multiple tenants with an aim to decide when and where the virtual cluster should be placed in a data center network. Our objective is maximizing the total revenue for the data center networks under the constraints. In order to solve this problem, this paper divides it into two parts: online multi-tenancy scheduling and virtual cluster placement. The first part aims to determine the scheduling orders for the multiple tenants, and the second part aims to determine the locations of virtual machines. We first approach the problem by using the variational inequality model and discuss the existence of the optimal solution. After that, we prove that provisioning virtual clusters for a multi-tenant data center network that maximizes revenue is NP-hard. Due to the complexity of this problem, an efficient heuristic algorithm OMS (Online Multi-tenancy Scheduling) is proposed to solve the online multi-tenancy scheduling problem. We further explore the virtual cluster placement problem based on the OMS and propose a novel algorithm during the virtual machine placement. We evaluate our algorithms through a series of simulations, and the simulations results demonstrate that OMS can significantly increase the efficiency and total revenue for the data centers.

Cloud computing integrates computing resources such as servers, storage, and networks with virtualization technology to provide suitable services according to user needs. Due to the structural characteristics of sharing physical resources based on virtualization technology, threats to availability can occur, so it is essential to respond to availability threats in cloud computing. Existing over-provisioning method is not suitable because it can generate idle resources and cause under-provisioning to degrade or disconnect service. System resources must be allocated in real-time according to the system load to guarantee the cloud system's availability. Through appropriate management measures, it is necessary to reduce the system load and increase the performance of the system. This paper analyzes the work response time according to the allocation or migration of virtual machines and discusses an efficient resource management method considering the system load.

가상화는 요즘 각광받는 기술 중 하나이다. 가상화의 개념이 처음 소개된 것은 20년 전의 일이다. 최근에 가상화가 다시 주목 받는 이유는 인터넷 사용자의 증가로 인해 서버의 수가 급증하였고 그에 반해 서버들의 활용률은 $20{\sim}30%$에 그치기 때문이다. 가상화론 채택하는 분야 중 하나는 바로 인터넷 데이터 센터(Internet Data Center, IDC)이다. IDC에서는 하나의 고성능 서버 위에 여러 개의 가상 머신을 구동함으로써 서버가 차지하는 공간을 줄이고 관리 비용을 절감하는 서버통할(server consolidation)에 주로 사용된다. 가상화를 통해 서비스를 제공하기 위한 첫 번째 단계는 가상 머신을 생성하는 것이다. 일반적으로 가상 머신의 생성은 물리적 노드 (비 가상 머신)에 운영체제를 설치하는 것과 동일하다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 제공을 위해 선행되어야 할 가상 머신을 생성함에 있어 가상 머신 풀(Virtual Machine OS Pool, VMOSPOOL)을 사용하여 빠르게 동적으로 가상 머신을 생성하는 방법에 대해 논의한다. 특히 가상 머신풀의 사용은 고가의 공용 스토리지가 없는 상황에서 부하 분산 클러스터를 구축하는데 유용함을 보인다.

IT 기술의 급격한 발달로 인해 개인의 생활뿐만 아니라 국내 기업들의 업무 환경까지도 많은 변화가 일어나고 있다. 이러한 변화 중 가상화 기술을 이용하여 업무의 효율성 증대와 경제적이며 관리 능률의 향상을 기대하며 가상화 환경을 도입하려는 기관이 많이 생겨나고 있다. 하지만 가상화 기술은 안정적인 서버의 운영이 뒷받침 되지 않는다면 막대한 피해를 줄 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 데스크탑 가상화 환경에서 프로비저닝(Provisioning) 과정을 이용하여 가상 서버의 시스템 자원을 최적화시키고, 최적화된 가상 서버에 사용자VM(Virtual Machine)을 할당하는 부하 분산 방안을 제안한다.
