Load balancer behavior identifier (LoBBI) for dynamic threshold based auto-scaling in cloud
M. Kriushanth, L. Arockiam · 2015
Cloud computing services available as on demand self-service basis at anywhere, anytime with Pay-as-you-go model. It is one of the fastest growing technology. Cloud Service Provider's (CSP) are capable enough to provide the services at any point of time. Cloud Users (CU) are satisfied if they get the cloud service in affordable price. Scalability is the key technique to trigger the scaling as per the users request. Auto-scaling and virtualization helps to achieve cost effective scaling. Setting dynamic threshold values in a cloud environment should utilize the resources completely and prevents the physical server damage. It manipulates the CSP to accommodate more user in a physical server and also reduces the cost of the service. This paper elaborates to set a dynamic threshold value in the physical server, load balancer behavior identifier mechanism is proposed to generate the rule and provide the resources dynamically.
