Virtualization techniques effectively handle the growing demand for computing, storage, and
communication resources in large-scale Cloud Data Centers (CDC). It helps to achieve …

Cloud Data Centers have become the key infrastructure for providing services. Instance
migration across different computing nodes in edge and cloud computing is essential to …

Cloud providers leverage live migration of virtual machines to reduce energy consumption
and allocate resources efficiently in data centers. Each migration decision depends on three …

We introduce a new metric for live migration of virtual machines (VM) called eviction time
defined as the time to evict the state of one or more VMs from the source host. Eviction time …

Virtual machine (VM) migration enables cloud service providers (CSPs) to balance
workload, perform zero-downtime maintenance, and reduce applications' power …

The development of applications independent of the cloud providers where they are going to
be deployed is still an open issue. In fact, cloud agnostic software development presents …

In clouds where CPU cores are time-shared by virtual CPUs (vCPU), vCPUs are scheduled
and descheduled by the virtual machine monitor (VMM) periodically. In each virtual machine …

To improve resource utilization and reduce costs many Cloud providers adopt virtual
machines (VMs) overcommitment. While effective, this strategy may lead to adverse …

The article puts forward an algorithm that combines Genetic Algorithm (GA) with Simulated
Annealing (SA) which lower the energy consumption of the cloud data center. The energy …

Live container migration allows containers to roam from one server to another to achieve
agility goals like load balancing, tackling machine failures, scaling in/out and reallocating …
