SUMMARY Cloud computing has emerged as a promising technique to provide storage and computing component on‐demand services over a network. In this paper, we present an energy‐saving algorithm using the Kalman filter for cloud resource management to predict the workload and to further achieve high resource availability with low service level agreement. Using the proposed algorithm, one can estimate the potential future workload trend then predict the computing component workload utilizations and further retrench energy consumption and achieve load balancing in a cloud system. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves more than 92.22% accuracy in the computing component workload prediction, improves 55.11% energy in energy consumption, and has 3.71% in power prediction error rate, respectively.
