Network Traffic-Aware Virtual Machine Placement with Availability Guarantees Based on Shadows
Qian Zhang, Mingyu Kenneth Li, Xiaohui Hu · 2014
Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) is critical for resource management in data centers. Network traffic and availability of VMs are key factors should be considered in VMP. The Shadow-Based Solution (SBS) guarantees the high-availability goals of VMP. However, the resource constraints of SBS are not applicable to network capacity. To solve this problem, we proposed a shadow-based VMP model with network traffic constraints for both real and shadow VMs. The experimental results show that the proposed model is more feasible than the original SBS model.
