Autonomic Management of Cloud Resources to meet Service Level Agreement

Abstract

Several studies have used either Autonomic Resource Management (ARM) or Service Level Agreements (SLA) to manage cloud resources. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on SLA with ARM to maintain Quality-of-Services (QoS) features. Therefore, this study highlights the applications of ARM, which focused on providing cloud services automatically for cloud consumers. Prior research has shown that QoS-aware methods for enhancing cloud performance. Additionally, QoS maintains security at the same time, which depends on ARM and SLA. Thus, this study contributes to investigating dynamic autonomic Service-based applications (SBAs) in the cloud, which has not been addressed in previous studies. As a result, QoS in cloud security management did not cover self-protection. Consequently, this research suggests using ARM with SLA to maintain QoS techniques for providing selfprotection requirements in a cloud environment.
