Abstract

The resource allocation in dynamic environments presents numerous challenges since the requests of consumers are important. Unfortunately, the maximization of accepted Cloud user’s requests, and at the same time, the reduction of energy consumption is a conflicting problem. In this paper, we propose a mechanism for the VMs allocation and reallocation in the Cloud data centers, using the VM migration aspect. Our mechanism is based on Min/Max thresholds, to avoid the emerging of underloaded/overloaded hosts and to keep servers relatively stable after VM consolidation. Finally, this paper presents some tests and simulation results, using the CloudSim simulator.
