Inter-Application Based Resource Management Approach for Cloud Infrastructure

Biased pricing model is a cardinal factor that is keeping Cloud from becoming the primary choice for an enterprise. Current pricing model is complex because of their datacenter lineage and favors the Cloud service providers. The onus to maximize resource utilization and minimize the total-cost-of-ownership both belongs to the end-user. End-users are not rewarded for adhering to the fair usage policy. The current study proposes an Inter-Application Resource Management approach comprising of a Just-In-Time resource management design and a flexible pricing model to overcome the limitations of the existing cloud pricing model.
