Energy Efficient Virtual Machine Management for Cloud Computing: A Survey [ READ ]
Olayinka Adeleye
The adoption of Cloud computing in IT industry has led to creation of thousands of datacentres across the globe, each housing thousands of computing resources and applications. However, energy consumption of cloud’s datacentres remains the major challenge facing cloud operations and its sustainability. Efficient utilization of cloud resources using various virtual infrastructure management techniques remains one of the strategic means of realising energy efficiency in cloud. Many research works on cloud energy efficiency exist, with some focusing on the infrastructure layer and some on the virtualization layer of the cloud architecture. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze various techniques deployed to manage virtual machine in an energy efficient manner. Although, the focus is on the virtualization layer, fundamental aspects such as the architectures, supporting technologies, methods, and overall cloud performances for each method will be considered.
