CES: A FRAMEWORK FOR EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE UTILIZATION THROUGH CLOUD ELASTICITY AS A SERVICE (CES)

In today’s world Enterprise, medium and small scale organizations started adopting cloud computing at rapid pace instead of traditional datacenters. Cloud computing has been so popular for cost reduction, pay for use model and ease of management tasks. A key problem faced by cloud providers in managing scaled up and down of cloud resources automatically. Traditional datacenter management capacity models clearly indicate that heavily provisioned is important to keep up with peak loads of usage while the over-provisioning capacity involves lot of manual management overhead cost and also the resources that are heavily provisioned are under-utilized during off-peak hours. Such heavily-provisioned and under-utilization of resources can be overcome by moving to a scaling up and down of cloud resources automatically and allowing the Cloud Admin for providing configurable parameters. To overcome this problem we are proposing an approach, where user can trigger a policy template for proactively scaled-up and down of the resources on demand basis as per the end-user needs.
