The pay-per-use model of cloud computing is booming in every industry. Power-hungry large heterogeneous data centers are providing these cloud services for 24× 7. Green cloud computing offers an energy-efficient and environment-friendly mechanism to offer cloud services while maintaining the quality of service (QoS). QoS is defined in terms of service-level agreement (SLA). VM Consolidation is one of the widely used frameworks that involve Virtual Machine (VM) migration and VM Placement to reduce energy consumption and maintain better QoS. Using the VM Placement policy VMs are allocated to suitable physical machines (PM). Efficient VM placement with better resource management can conserve electricity and provide better QoS. A new SLA and energy-aware VM placement policy have been developed in this research. The VMs are placed in a PM having the least energy consumption and SLA violation (SLAV). Further, the proposed VM placement policy has been implemented using CloudSim and it has been shown that the proposed VM placement policy outperforms state-of-art VM placement policies like PEBFD, MBFD, MFPED, and PEFED.
