A Systematic Cloud Workload Clustering Technique in Large Scale Data Centers
Salam A. Ismaeel, Ali Miri · 2019
In large scale data centers Virtual Machines and Tasks (VMs/tasks) scheduling, VMs allocation, workload predictions and monitoring are a vital concern in any cloud-based data center. In all these fields, clustering algorithms are very useful to a group of workload components that have similar behaviors characteristics. Effective clustering is to select an appropriate clustering technique for a specific application. This choice is very necessary, especially when there are wide choices that provide different results. To address such issue, this paper proposes a novel systematic framework to select the suitable VMs/tasks clustering method in large-scale data centers based on clustering purpose, validation indices and results comparison.
