Abstract

The design of good host overload/underload detection and virtual machine (VM) placement algorithms plays a vital role in assuring the smoothness of VM live migration. The presence of the dynamic environment that leads to a changing load on the VMs motivates us to propose a Markov prediction model to forecast the future load state of the host. We propose a host load detection algorithm to find the future overutilized/underutilized hosts state to avoid immediate VMs migration. Moreover, we propose a VM placement algorithm to determine the set of candidates hosts to receive the migrated VMs in a way to reduce their VM migrations in near future. We evaluate our proposed algorithms through CloudSim simulation on different types of PlanetLab real and random workloads. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithms have a significant reduction in terms of service-level agreement violation, the number of VM migrations, and other metrics than the other competitive algorithms.
