Abstract
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm, now proving a necessity for utility computing services. Each provider offers a unique service portfolio with a range of resource configurations. Resource provisioning for cloud services in a comprehensive way is crucial to any resource allocation model. Any model should consider both computational resources and network resources to accurately represent and serve practical needs. Another aspect that should be considered while provisioning resources is energy consumption. This aspect is getting more attention from industry and governments parties. Calls of support for the green clouds are gaining momentum. With that in mind, resource allocation algorithms aim to accomplish the task of scheduling virtual machines on data center servers and then scheduling connection requests on the network paths available while complying with…
