Distributed Resource Allocation Approach on Federated Clouds

摘要

This paper addresses the distributed resource allocation problem in the federated cloud environment, in which the deployment and management of multiple clouds aim to meet the clients' requirement. In such an environment, users could optimize service delivery by selecting the most suitable provider, in terms of cost, efficiency, flexibility, and availability of services, to deploy applications. However, different providers have different resource allocation strategies. This paper proposes a distributed resource allocation approach to solve resource competition in the federated cloud environment. Experimental results show that the cloud provider could obtain more profits by outsourcing resources in the federated cloud with enough resources.
