Implementing job scheduling approach in cloud environment

Abstract

Cloud Computing helps us to utilize the facilities of multiple applications such as web conferencing, games, E-mail on the Internet. With cloud computing we can create and configure the applications online. It also helps us to customize the applications according to clients need. We can store over data online and retrieve the data anytime anywhere. Cloud provides us enormous storage and offers different types of resources such as high speed server, runtime platform, applications and software. Due to scarcity and large cost of cloud resources there is need for proper scheduling and allocation of cloud resources. The cloud resources must be allocated in efficient and effective way so that total cost of resources should be minimized. Scheduling algorithms are used for dispatching user tasks or jobs to a particular resource or data. This paper provides review of different cloud scheduling strategies used in cloud environment.
