Cost Optimization in Multi Cloud Platforms using Priority Assignment

Cloud computing is one of the emerging technologies today. The cost and pricing schemes that are often associated with the cloud services offered can be misleading to most users. Cost optimization is very important as far as cloud services are concerned. In this paper, a priority assignment function is introduced, which assigns priority to the data, based on which the data storage and encryption is performed, depending on the priority assignment which in turn reduces the unnecessary cost and time complexity that is associated with data storage.
