DCMigrationALG: A Power-Aware Data Center Container Migration Algorithm

Abstract

In order to make full use of the power capacity of the data center when deploying servers in the data center, the deployment method of data center power over-provisioning is adopted. By using the hypothetical power capacity of the data center instead of the actual power capacity to deploy servers, we can deploy more servers to improve power utilization and space utilization. However, in some cases, when the servers under the same power supply component reach a higher power level at the same time, the real-time power of the power supply component will exceed the rated power, affecting service operation and causing heavy losses. In response to the above problems, we propose DCMigrationALG: a power-aware data center container migration algorithm. This algorithm uses container migration to migrate the containers under the power supply component to other power supply components, thereby reducing the real-time power of the power supply component and ensuring power security. We conduct experiments in a real computer room environment to prove the effectiveness of our algorithm.
