Distributed Controller for Load Balancing with VM Migration

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a model named Hugo, that acts as a distributed, scalable cloud controller which can handle basic operations like creation, deletion and migration of virtual machines(VMs). It achieves higher utilization by overcommitting the physical machine(PM). We describe each and every component along with their functionalities that garner to form the structural support for the model proposed. Algorithmic implementations namely Wiener filter algorithm for resource prediction, heuristic for energy efficient VM migration are discussed. Distributed nature of the model along with its contribution to scalability is fairly explained in this paper.
