Dynamic Resource Allocation Scheme in Cloud Computing

AbstractCloud Computing environment provisions the supply of computing resources on the basis of demand, as and when needed. It builds upon advances of virtualisation and distributed computing to support cost efficient usage of computing resources, emphasizing on resource scalability and on-demand services. It allows business outcomes to scale up and down their resources based on needs. Managing the customer demand creates the challenges of on-demand resource allocation. Virtual Machine (VM) technology has been employed for resource provisioning. It is expected that using virtualized environment will reduce the average job response time as well as executes the task according to the availability of resources. Hence VMs are allocated to the user based on characteristics of the job. Effective and dynamic utilization of the resources in cloud can help to balance the load and avoid situations like slow run of systems. This paper mainly focuses on allocation of VM to the user, based on analyzing the characteristics of the job. Main principle of this work is that low priority jobs (deadline of the job is high) should not delay the execution of high priority jobs (deadline of the job is low) and to dynamically allocate VM resources for a user job within deadlin
