Dynamic resource allocation using virtual machines for cloud computing environment

Dynamic Resource Allocation Using Virtual Machines For Cloud
Computing Environment
ABSTRACT
Cloud computing allows business customers to scale up and down their resource usage based on needs. Many
of the touted gains in the cloud model come from resource multiplexing through virtualization technology. In
this paper, we present a system that uses virtualization technology to allocate data center resources
dynamically based on application demands and support green computing by optimizing the number of
servers in use. We introduce the concept of “skewness” to measure the unevenness in the multi-dimensional
resource utilization of a server. By minimizing skewness, we can combine different types of workloads nicely
and improve the overall utilization of server resources. We develop a set of heuristics that prevent overload in
the system effectively while saving energy used. Trace driven simulation and experiment results demonstrate
that our algorithm achieves good performance.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Virtual machine monitors (VMMs) like Xen provide a mechanism for mapping virtual machines (VMs) to
physical resources. This mapping is largely hidden from the cloud users. Users with the Amazon EC2 service
[4], for example, do not know where their VM instances run. It is up to the cloud provider to make sure the
underlying physical machines (PMs) have sufficient resources to meet their needs. VM live migration
technology makes it possible to change the mapping between VMs and PMs while applications are running.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an automated resource management system that
achieves a good balance between the two goal:
Overload avoidance: the capacity of a PM should be sufficient to satisfy the resource needs of
all VMs running on it. Otherwise, the PM is overloaded and can lead to degraded performance
of its VMs.
Green computing: the number of PMs used should be minimized as long as they can still
satisfy the needs of all VMs. Idle PMs can be turned off to save energy.
Advantage of Proposed System:
We develop a resource allocation system that can avoid overload in the system effectively
while minimizing the number of servers used.
We introduce the concept of “skewness” to measure the uneven utilization of a server. By
minimizing skewness, we can improve the overall utilization of servers in the face of multi-
dimensional resource constraints.
MODULE DESCRIPTION:
Number of Modules
After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:
1. Cloud Computing Module.
2. Resource Management Module.
3. Virtualization Module.
4. Green Computing Module.
1.Cloud Computing Module:
Cloud computing refers to applications and services offered over the Internet. These services are
offered from data centers all over the world, which collectively are referred to as the "cloud." Cloud
computing is a movement away from applications needing to be installed on an individual's
computer towards the applications being hosted online. Cloud resources are usually not only shared

by multiple users but as well as dynamically re-allocated as per demand. This can work for allocating
resources to users in different time zones.
2. Resource Management Module:
Dynamic resource management has become an active area of research in the Cloud Computing paradigm. Cost
of resources varies significantly depending on configuration for using them. Hence efficient management of
resources is of prime interest to both Cloud Providers and Cloud Users. The success of any cloud management
software critically de-pends on the flexibility; scale and efficiency with which it can utilize the underlying
hardware resources while pro-viding necessary performance isolation. Successful resource management
solution for cloud environments, needs to provide a rich set of resource controls for better isolation, while
doing initial placement and load balancing for efficient utilization of underlying resources.
3. Virtualization Module:
Virtualization, in computing, is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual)
Version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, and a storage device or network
resources.VM live migration is a widely used technique for dynamic resource allocation in a virtualized
environment. The process of running two or more logical computer system so on one set of physical hardware.
Dynamic placement of virtual servers to minimize SLA violations.
4. GreenComputing Module:
Many efforts have been made to curtail energy consumption. Hardware based approaches include novel
thermal design for lower cooling power, or adopting power-proportional and low-power hardware. Dynamic
Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) to adjust CPU power according to its load in data centers. Our work
belongs to the category of pure-software low-cost Solutions. It requires that the desktop is virtualized with
shared storage. Green computing ensures end user satisfaction, regulatory compliance, telecommuting,
virtualization of server resources.
