Abstract
Cloud computing seeks to provide a global computing utility service to a broad base of users. Resource management and scheduling are prime challenges in building such a service. In this paper, we first provide an overview of clouds from a resource management and scheduling perspective. We then discuss key challenges in these areas, describing prime opportunities for new research.
