This research addresses the critical issue of ineffective resource scheduling in cloud data centers, which frequently leads to higher consumption of energy, more expensive operations, and worse system performance. Given the pivotal role of cloud data centers in facilitating scalable and efficient computing resources, optimal resource scheduling is critical for performance maximization and operational cost reduction. Integrating advanced met heuristic techniques like Genetic Algorithms (GA) and particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with machine learning models, a hybrid optimization framework is proposed to allocate resources adaptively. The hybrid model effectively manages exploration and exploitation by leveraging the global searching capabilities of GAs and the fast convergence behavior of PSO, hence overcoming multi-faceted complexities and heterogeneity prevalent in cloud infrastructures. Of note, the inclusion of machine learning elements further augments the predictive ability of the model, facilitating dynamic updates in response to changes in load and diverse user requirements. Those experimental results show that significant improvements in scheduling efficiency are achieved to minimize both the job completion times and the energy consumption without violating the SLAs.
