A Study on Virtual Machine Placement, its Parameters and Challenges

Abstract

In real-world scenarios, cloud computing data centres house hundreds of thousands of virtual machines (VMs).Computing resources are provisioned as metered on-demand services across networks, and may be promptly allocated and released with low administration effort, thanks to the rise of cloud computing. The virtual machine is one of the most often used resource carriers in the cloud computing paradigm for encapsulating business services. In this regard, Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) is one of the most difficult problems in cloud infrastructure management, given the enormous number of alternative optimization criteria and differences in cloud infrastructure management.
