Abstract

The development of cloud computing and virtualization technology has brought great challenges to the reliability of data center services. Data centers typically contain a large number of compute and storage nodes which may fail and affect the quality of service. Failure prediction is an important means of ensuring service availability. Predicting node failure in cloud-based data centers is challenging because the failure symptoms reflected have complex characteristics, and the distribution imbalance between the failure sample and the normal sample is widespread, resulting in inaccurate failure prediction. Targeting these challenges, this paper proposes a novel failure prediction method FP-STE (Failure Prediction based on Spatio-temporal Feature Extraction). Firstly, an improved recurrent neural network HW-GRU (Improved GRU based on HighWay network) and a convolutional neural network CNN are used to extract the temporal features and spatial features of multivariate data respectively to increase the discrimination of different types of failure symptoms which improves the accuracy of prediction. Then the intermediate results of the two models are added as features into SCSXGBoost to predict the possibility and the precise type of node failure in the future. SCS-XGBoost is an ensemble learning model that is improved by the integrated strategy of oversampling and cost-sensitive learning. Experimental results based on real data sets confirm the effectiveness and superiority of FP-STE.
