Abstract

The cloud computing paradigm provides a shared pool of resources and services with different models delivered to the customers through the Internet via an on-demand dynamically-scalable form charged using a pay-per-use model. The main problem we tackle in this paper is to optimize the resource provisioning task by shortening the completion time for the customers’ tasks while minimizing the associated cost. This study presents the dynamic resources provisioning and monitoring (DRPM) system, a multi-agent system to manage the cloud provider’s resources while taking into account the customers’ quality of service requirements as determined by the service-level agreement (SLA). Moreover, DRPM includes a new virtual machine selection algorithm called the host fault detection algorithm. The proposed DRPM system is evaluated using the CloudSim tool. The results show that using the DRPM system increases resource utilization and decreases power consumption while avoiding SLA violations.
