Abstract

Virtual machine placement is one of the main sub-problems in the virtual machine consolidation process which faces different challenges. Burst-aware placement plays a key role in improving energy efficiency and reducing the SLA violations in cloud computing systems and hence requires special attention and investigation. Therefore, in this study, we will present burst-aware algorithms in order to decrease the resource wastage and reduce SLA violations. By presenting these algorithms, we aim to minimize the negative effects of workload bursts on the process of making decisions about the placement of virtual machines. We use random and real-world datasets and CloudSim simulator to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results confirm the advantages of the method regarding energy efficiency and performance, compared to the benchmark methods.
