Contribution
It proposes a new genetic algorithm seeded with other meta-heuristics for improved load balancing in cloud computing environments.
Findings
Prototype implementation demonstrates effective load distribution.
Experimental results show reduced migration costs.
The genetic algorithm outperforms traditional methods.
Abstract
This paper presents a strategy to allocate services on a Cloud system without overloading nodes and maintaining the system stability with minimum cost. We specify an abstract model of cloud resources utilization, including multiple types of resources as well as considerations for the service migration costs. A prototype meta-heuristic load balancer is demonstrated and experimental results are presented and discussed. We also propose a novel genetic algorithm, where population is seeded with the outputs of other meta-heuristic algorithms.
