Solutions to Achieve Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Cloud providers have enormous expectations in terms of maintaining Quality-of-Service (QoS) to optimize energy efficiency levels, since cloud computing has become very popular. Several mechanisms are discussed in research papers to achieve it. One such mechanism is Virtual Machine Placement (VMP). In this paper, we discuss variants of bin packing algorithms which enhances VMP placements. Further, it summarizes them with different parameters. Additionally, it also points out the challenges involved in bin packing based algorithms.
