The way of scaling distributed applications in software-defined networks using hybrid cloud

In this article, the problem of scaling of distributed applications has been examined. Possibilities of scaling applications in software-defined networks have been analyzed. A way of scaling applications, which allows increasing the efficiency of cluster resources usage by using SDN technology, was suggested. The solution is based on dynamic scaling of the cluster, and in case of insufficient resources – adding cloud to the cluster. The algorithm of scaling of a distributed application in software-defined networks using hybrid cloud has been developed, that allows to use cluster and cloud resources in an optimal way, while the load is changing.
