On Modelling Virtual Machine Consolidation to Pseudo-Boolean Constraints

Abstract

Cloud Computing is a new paradigm of distributed computing that offers virtualized resources and services over the Internet. To offer Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) many Cloud providers uses a large data center which usage ranges 5% to 10% of capacity in average. In order to improve Cloud data center management and resources usage a Virtual Machine (VM) consolidation technique can be applied to increase workloads and save energy. Using VM consolidation, we introduce an artificial intelligence consolidation based in Pseudo-Boolean (PB) Constraints to find a optimal consolidation. To evaluate our PB consolidation approach we used the DInf-UFPR and Google Cluster scenario and the formulas are solved with two state-of-the-art solvers.
