Efficient Management of Resource Provisioning Cost in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is a large-scale distributed computing paradigm in which a pool of computing resources is available to users via the internet. Cloud computing allow to use remote servers to run your applications. Cloud computing provides various services to users and organizations. Basically the services are divided into three categories-SaaS, PaaS, IaaS. One has to login to the portal and submit the request. The services are given by the cloud provider and the provider validates the request. After validation it will provision the request. The cloud user then wants to pay for using cloud resources. The user can buy the resources either by on-demand or by reservation. Reservation plan is cheaper than on-demand plan. But due to the over provisioning and under provisioning problems, the pricing will be fluctuating. In order to obtain optimal resource provisioning cost the optimal resource provisioning algorithm is used based on the time parameter. i.e., the cloud user only wants to pay for the time spent on utilizing the cloud. Thus optimal cloud resource provisioning algorithm reduces the cloud utilization cost. Since the benefits of cloud computing many users using the cloud, it might create heavy network traffic. The proposed method will manages the network traffic effectively and reduce the delay in job completion as well as the cost for cloud services. Hence the resource provisioning can be made fast and efficient resource provisioning cost can be obtained.
