Abstract Virtual machine (VM) consolidation is an effective way to improve
resource utilization and reduce energy consumption in cloud data centers.
Most existing studies have considered VM consolidation as a bin-packing
problem, but the current schemes commonly ignore the long-term relationship
between VMs and hosts. In addition, there is a lack of long-term consideration for resource optimization in the VM consolidation, which results in
unnecessary VM migration and increased energy consumption. To address
these limitations, a VM consolidation method based on multi-step prediction
and affinity-aware technique for energy-efficient cloud data centers (MPaAFVMC) is proposed. The proposed… More >
