AIMING: Resource Allocation with Latency Awareness for Federated-Cloud Applications

摘要

Federated-cloud has been widely deployed due to the growing popularity of real-time applications, and hence allocating resources among clouds becomes nontrivial to meet the stringent service requirements. The challenges lie in achieving minimized latency constrained by virtual machines rental overhead and resource requirement. This becomes further complicated by the issues of datacenter selection. To this end, we propose AIMING, a novel resource allocation approach which aims to minimize the latency constrained by monetary overhead in the context of federated-cloud. Specifically, the network resources are deployed and selected according to k-means clustering. Meanwhile, the total latency among datacenters is optimized based on binary quadratic programming. The evaluation is conducted with real data traces. The results show that AIMING can reduce total datacenter latency effectively compared with other approaches.
