Resource Management in a Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
Diptam Dutta, Kaustav Choudhury, Kasturi Sasmal · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
In this paper, a resource management technique is proposed to handle the request of Virtual Machines (VM's) as per the need of users, consisting of resources (mips, vm image size, network bandwidth, number of cpu's) containing cloudlets which in turn are cloud-based application services (content delivery, social networks) commonly deployed in data centers.There are three priority mechanisms governing the user's requests namely low, medium and high priority requests.Here, the priority is given to the amount of VM's requested.To implement the above concept, the Hybrid Cloud model is used by which the benefits of both the private and public clouds can be reaped.This model has its advantages that it proves to be cost-effective as the resources are effectively utilized from private clouds and only when exhausted are taken from public clouds which is cheaper.
