Better QoS using Resource Provisioning Augmentation in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware, development platforms and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization. This pool of resources is typically exploited by a pay-per-use model in which guarantees are offered by the Infrastructure Provider by means of customized Service Level Agreements. Resource Provisioning is an important and challenging problem of Cloud Computing. It plays an important role in the performance of the entire system and also the level of customer satisfaction provided by the system. There are many resource provisioning techniques, both static and dynamic each one having its own advantages and also some challenges. These resource provisioning techniques used must meet Quality of Service (QoS) parameters like availability, throughput, response time, security, reliability etc., and thereby avoiding Service Level Agreement (SLA) violation. In this paper, survey on Static and Dynamic Resource Provisioning Techniques is made. Here we have taken Round robin algorithm as a resource allocation algorithm for dynamic resource provisioning.
