An optimized capacity planning approach for virtual infrastructure exhibiting stochastic workload
Swarna Mylavarapu, Vijay Sukthankar, Pradipta Kumar Banerjee · 2010
Traditionally, any capacity planning problem is modeled with deterministic workloads by considering the peak workload for resource allocation. In the context of businesses using cloud service, cloud provider could allocate resources for peak workload which could lead to under utilization of resource and charging users for unused yet provisioned resources. Hence we came up with a better capacity planning algorithm which could ensure that we plan for peak usage but do not provision for it.
