Abstract

The costs of current data centers are mostly driven by their energy consumption (specifically by the air conditioning, computing and networking infrastructure). Yet, current pricing models are usually static and rarely consider the facilities' energy consumption per user. The challenge is to provide a fair and predictable model to attribute the overall energy costs per virtual machine (VM). Current pay-as-you-go models of Cloud providers allow users to easily know how much their computing will cost. However, this model is not fully transparent as to where the costs come from (e.g., energy). In this paper we introduce EPAVE, a model for Energy-Proportional Accounting in VM-based Environments. EPAVE allows transparent, reproducible and predictive cost calculation for users and for Cloud providers. We show these characteristics of EPAVE by a number of use cases in heterogeneous data centers and discuss the applicability of EPAVE.
一台虚拟机的成本是多少?基于虚拟机环境中的能量比例核算
当前数据中心的成本主要是由其能源消耗(特别是空调、计算和网络基础设施)驱动的。然而,目前的定价模式通常是静态的,很少考虑设施的每个用户的能源消耗。挑战在于提供一个公平且可预测的模型来确定每个虚拟机(VM)的总能源成本。目前云提供商的即用即付模式允许用户很容易地知道他们的计算将花费多少。然而,这种模式对于成本的来源(例如能源)并不完全透明。本文介绍了一种基于虚拟机环境的能量比例核算模型EPAVE。EPAVE为用户和云提供商提供了透明、可重复和可预测的成本计算。我们通过异构数据中心中的许多用例展示了EPAVE的这些特征,并讨论了EPAVE的适用性。
