Cloud Computing (CC) is one of the most popular technologies of the modern era, which provides seamless connectivity and services to the end users as per their demands. In CC, using virtualization, efficient resource utilization can be achieved which in turn increases the performance of any implemented solution in this environment. However, in order to provide the services to the end users, there is an exponential increase in the size and number of servers within the cloud data centers (DCs) which raises the need of efficient VM management in modern DCs. However, most of the clustering techniques reported in the literature are centroid based in which the number of VM clusters are predefined, which makes them highly dependent on the location of the data. Moreover, these existing proposals emphasize on arranging the data in a spherical structure with equal number of VM clusters. To mitigate all these issues …
