Resource utilization prediction technique in cloud using knowledge based ensemble random forest with LSTM model

Abstract

Future computation of cloud datacenter resource usage is a provoking task due to dynamic and Business Critic workloads. Accurate prediction of cloud resource utilization through historical observation facilitates, effectively aligning the task with resources, estimating the capacity of a cloud server, applying intensive auto-scaling and controlling resource usage. As imprecise prediction of resources leads to either low or high provisioning of resources in the cloud. This paper focuses on solving this problem in a more proactive way. Most of the existing prediction models are based on a mono pattern of workload which is not suitable for handling peculiar workloads. The researchers address this problem by making use of a contemporary model to dynamically analyze the CPU utilization, so as to precisely estimate data center CPU utilization. The proposed design makes use of an Ensemble Random Forest-Long Short Term Memory based deep architectural models for resource estimation. This design preprocesses and trains data based on historical observation. The approach is analyzed by using a real cloud data set. The empirical interpretation depicts that the proposed design outperforms the previous approaches as it bears 30%–60% enhanced accuracy in resource utilization.
