Performance Based Energy Efficient Techniques For VM Allocation In Cloud Environment

Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm for providing different services like platform, infrastructure and software as a large scale distributed computing applications via Internet. Computing resources are available in Cloud through virtualization. It divides a physical machine into many half or full isolated machines (known as Virtual Machines-VMs) using various allocation techniques. To identify a technique that can satisfy a quality of service in consideration of energy consumption in Cloud environment is one of the challenging issues for Virtual Machine allocation in Cloud as there are tradeoffs between energy consumption and performance. In the present research, we aim to survey various techniques that combine energy efficiency and performance. Hence, different real world virtual machine allocation policies are explored and the performance based energy efficient techniques for VM allocation are discussed. This survey may assist the researchers who wish to step in to the domain of performance based energy efficient VM techniques.
