description | Abstract Efficient resource management approaches have become a fundamental challenge for distributed systems, especially dynamic environment systems such as cloud computing data centers. These approaches aim at load-balancing or minimizing power consumption. Due to the highly dynamic nature of cloud workloads, traditional time series and machine learning models fail to achieve accurate predictions. In this paper, we propose novel hybrid VTGAN models. Our proposed models not only aim at predicting future workloads but also predicting the workload trend (i.e., the upward or downward direction of the workload). Trend classification could be less complex during the decision-making process in resource management approaches. Also, we study the effect of changing the sliding window size and the number of prediction steps. In addition, we investigate the impact of enhancing the features used for training using the technical indicators, Fourier transforms, and wavelet transforms. We validate our models using a real cloud workload dataset. Our results show that VTGAN models outperform traditional deep learning and hybrid models, such as LSTM/GRU and CNN-LSTM/GRU, concerning cloud workload prediction and trend classification. Our proposed model records an upward prediction accuracy ranging from $$95.4\%$$ 95.4 % to $$96.6\%$$ 96.6 % . |
