Round-Robin Data Center Selection in Single Region for Service Proximity Service Broker in CloudAnalyst

Cloud Service Providers offer supple, on demand and metered infrastructure services. For organizations, performance of an Application deployed in multiple regions is a matter of concern in Cloud deployment model. Proof of Concepts in Cloud environment gives better understanding but it costs organization heavily in terms of capacity building and resource usage.?A useful approach to study such dynamic and massively distributed environment can be simulation of Cloud environments and Applications to evaluate application performance. CloudSim is a framework for modeling and simulation of Cloud computing Environments and assessment of resource provisioning algorithms. CloudAnalyst extends CloudSim with user friendly GUI. This paper projects the use Round-Robin load balancing policies for selection of data centers existing in same region for distribution of load among them. This policy results into efficient resource utilization and better service quality from the Cloud Service Provider’s perspective.
