| description | High energy consumption and low resource utilization have become increasingly prominent problems in cloud data centers. Virtual machine (VM) consolidation is the key technology to solve the problems. However, excessive VM consolidation may lead to service level agreement violations (SLAv). Most studies have focused on optimizing energy consumption and ignored other factors. An effective VM consolidation should comprehensively consider multiple factors, including the quality of service (QoS), energy consumption, resource utilization, migration overhead and network communication overhead, which is a multi-objective optimization problem. To solve the problems above, we propose a VM consolidation approach based on dynamic load mean and multi-objective optimization (DLMM-VMC), which aims to minimize power consumption, resources waste, migration overhead and network communication overhead while ensuring QoS. Fist, based on multi-dimensional resources consideration, the host load status is objectively evaluated by using the proposed host load detection algorithm based on the dynamic load mean to avoid an excessive VM consolidation. Then, the best solution is obtained based on the proposed multi-objective optimization model and optimized ant colony algorithm, so as to ensure the common interests of cloud service providers and users. Finally, the experimental results show that compared with the existing VM consolidation methods, our proposed algorithm has a significant improvement in the energy consumption, QoS, resources waste, SLAv, migration and network overhead. |
