Machine-Learning-Based Approach for Virtual Machine Allocation and Migration

Due to its ability to supply reliable, robust and scalable computational power, cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular in industry, government, and academia. High-speed networks connect both virtual and real machines in cloud computing data centres. The system's dynamic provisioning environment depends on the requirements of end-user computer resources. Hence, the operational costs of a particular data center are relatively high. To meet service level agreements (SLAs), it is essential to assign an appropriate maximum number of resources. Virtualization is a fundamental technology used in cloud computing. It assists cloud providers to manage data centre resources effectively, and, hence, improves resource usage by creating several virtualmachine (VM) instances. Furthermore, VMs can be dynamically integrated into a few physical nodes based on current resource requirements using live migration, while meeting SLAs. As a result, unoptimised and inefficient VM consolidation can reduce performance when an application is exposed to varying workloads. This paper introduces a new machine-learning-based approach for dynamically integrating VMs based on adaptive predictions of usage thresholds to achieve acceptable service level agreement (SLAs) standards. Dynamic data was generated during runtime to validate the efficiency of the proposed technique compared with other machine learning algorithms.
