Virtual machine placement is the process of selecting the most suitable server in large cloud data centers to deploy newly-created VMs. Traditional load balancing or energy-aware VM placement approaches either allocate VMs to PMs in centralized manner or ignore PM’s cost-capacity ratio to implement energy-aware VM placement. We address these two issues by introducing a distributed VM placement approach. A auction-based VM placement algorithm is devised for help VM to find the most suitable server in large heterogeneous cloud data centers. Our algorithm is evaluated by simulation. Experimental results show two major improvements over the existing approaches for VM placement. First, our algorithm efficiently balances the utilization of multiple types of resource by minimizing the amount of physical servers used. Second, it reduces system cost compared with existing approaches in heterogeneous environment.

In cloud data centers, different virtual machine placement strategies will affect the resource utilization efficiency of the whole system. How to improve the overall resource utilization of the system by adjusting the virtual machine placement strategy under limited resources is the focus of current researchers. In this paper, a new virtual machine placement strategy is proposed, which is based on the comprehensive constraints of various system resources. In the process of solving the problem, a multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm is used. Simulation results show that this method can effectively reduce the number of physical machines activated in the data center, and the accuracy is high.
