Green cloud data center has become a research hotspot of virtualized cloud computing architecture. And load balancing has also been one of the most important goals in cloud data centers. Since live virtual machine (VM) migration technology is widely used and studied in cloud computing, we have focused on location selection (migration policy) of live VM migration for power saving and load balancing. We propose a novel approach MOGA-LS, which is a heuristic and self-adaptive multiobjective optimization algorithm based on the improved genetic algorithm (GA). This paper has presented the specific design and implementation of MOGA-LS such as the design of the genetic operators, fitness values, and elitism. We have introduced the Pareto dominance theory and the simulated annealing (SA) idea into MOGA-LS and have presented the specific process to get the final solution, and thus, the whole approach achieves a long-term efficient optimization for power saving and load balancing. The experimental results demonstrate that MOGA-LS evidently reduces the total incremental power consumption and better protects the performance of VM migration and achieves the balancing of system load compared with the existing research. It makes the result of live VM migration more high-effective and meaningful.

Green cloud data center has become a research hotspot of virtualized cloud computing architecture. Since live virtual machine (VM) migration technology is widely used and studied in cloud computing, we have focused on the VM placement selection of live migration for power saving. We present a novel heuristic approach which is called PS-ABC. Its algorithm includes two parts. One is that it combines the artificial bee colony (ABC) idea with the uniform random initialization idea, the binary search idea, and Boltzmann selection policy to achieve an improved ABC-based approach with better global exploration’s ability and local exploitation’s ability. The other one is that it uses the Bayes theorem to further optimize the improved ABC-based process to faster get the final optimal solution. As a result, the whole approach achieves a longer-term efficient optimization for power saving. The experimental results demonstrate that PS-ABC evidently reduces the total incremental power consumption and better protects the performance of VM running and migrating compared with the existing research. It makes the result of live VM migration more high-effective and meaningful.

Cloud computing is the latest trend in large-scale distributed computing. It provides diverse services on demand to distributive resources such asservers, software, and databases. One of the challenging problems in cloud data centers is to manage the load of different reconfigurable virtual machines over one another. Thus, in the near future of cloud computing field, providing a mechanism for efficient resource management will be very significant. Many load balancing algorithms have been already implemented and executed to manage the resources efficiently and adequately. The objective of this paper is to analyze shortcomings of existing algorithms and implement a new algorithm which will give optimized load balancingresult.

In modern data centres of cloud computing contains virtualization system. In order to improve network stability, energy efficiency, and makespan proper virtualization need. The virtual machine is one of the examples of virtualizations. Cloud computing data centres consist of millions of virtual machine to manage load balancing. In this study check the different number of virtual machine role in data centres, for that purpose, we established a network with the help of cloudsim and compare different data centres at each zones taking a different number of the virtual machine with different paramater and network banwith.After the simulation the result shows that increasning in the number of VM can affect the netwok accuracy in term of energy ,processing time ,coast and network stabality .

Komputasi awan atau cloud computing merupakan lingkungan yang heterogen dan terdistribusi, tersusun atas gugusan jaringan server dengan berbagai kapasitas sumber daya komputasi yang berbeda-beda guna menopang model layanan yang ada di atasnya. Virtual machine (VM) dijadikan sebagai representasi dari ketersediaan sumber daya komputasi dinamis yang dapat dialokasikan dan direalokasikan sesuai dengan permintaan. Mekanisme live migration VM di antara server fisik yang terdapat di dalam data center cloud digunakan untuk mencapai konsolidasi dan memaksimalkan utilisasi VM. Pada prosedur konsoidasi vm, pemilihan dan penempatan VM sering kali menggunakan kriteria tunggal dan statis. Dalam penelitian ini diusulkan pemilihan dan penempatan VM menggunakan multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) pada prosedur konsolidasi VM dinamis di lingkungan cloud data center guna meningkatkan layanan cloud computing. Pendekatan praktis digunakan dalam mengembangkan lingkungan cloud computing berbasis OpenStack Cloud dengan mengintegrasikan VM selection dan VM Placement pada prosedur konsolidasi VM menggunakan OpenStack-Neat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode pemilihan dan penempatan VM melalui live migration mampu menggantikan kerugian yang disebabkan oleh down-times sebesar 11,994 detik dari waktu responnya. Peningkatan response times terjadi sebesar 6 ms ketika terjadi proses live migration VM dari host asal ke host tujuan. Response times rata-rata setiap vm yang tersebar pada compute node setelah terjadi proses live migration sebesar 67 ms yang menunjukkan keseimbangan beban pada sistem cloud computing.

Cloud computing brings incipient transmutations in different fields of life and consists of different characteristics and virtualization is one of them. Virtual machine (VM) is one of the main elements of virtualization. VM is a process in which physical server changes into the virtual machine and works as a physical server. When a user sends data or request for data in cloud data center, a situation can occur that may cause the virtual machines to underload data or overload data. The aforementioned situation can lead to failure of the system or delay the user task. Therefore, appropriate load balancing techniques are required to surmount the above two mentioned problems. Load balancing is a technique utilized in cloud computing for management of the resource by a condition such that a maximum throughput is achieved with slightest reaction time and additionally dividing the traffic between different servers or VM so that it can get data without any delay. For the amelioration of load balancing technique in this study, a novel technique is used which is coalescence of BAT and ABC algorithms both of which are nature-inspired algorithms. When the ABC algorithm local search section changes with BAT algorithm local search section, a second modification takes place in the fitness function of BAT algorithm. The proposed technique is known as HBATAABC algorithm. The novel technique implemented by utilizing transfer strategy policy in VM improves the performance of data allocation system of VM in the cloud data center. To check the performance of the proposed algorithm, three main parameters are used which are network average time, network stability and throughput. The performance of the proposed novel technique is verified and tested with the help of cloudsim simulator. The result shows that the suggested modified algorithm increases performance by 1.30% of network average time, network stability and throughput as compared with BAT algorithm, ABC algorithm and RRA algorithm. Nevertheless, the proposed algorithm is more precise and expeditious as compared with the three models.
