Virtual Machine Consolidation using Roulette wheel selection Strategy

Abstract

Cloud computing data centers are growing rapidly in both number and capacity to meet the increasing demands for highly-responsive computing and massive storage. Such data centers consume enormous amounts of electrical energy resulting in high operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions. The reason for this extremely high energy consumption is not just the quantity of computing resources and the power inefficiency of hardware, but rather lies in the inefficient usage of these resources. Virtual Machine [VM] consolidation involves live migration of VMs hence the capability of transferring a VM between physical servers with a close to zero down time. It is an effective way to improve the utilization of resources and increase energy efficiency in cloud data centers. VM consolidation consists of host overload/under load detection, VM selection and VM placement. In Our Proposed Model We are going to use Roulette-Wheel Selection Strategy, Where the VM selects the Instance type and Physical Machine [PM] using Roulette-Wheel Selection Mechanism Keywords—searchable encryption, dynamic update, cloud computing
