Abstract

Cloud computing is the set of distributed computing nodes. It is the use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over a network. Virtualization plays a crucial role in cloud computing. Typically VMs are offered in different types, each type have its own characteristics which includes number of CPU cores, amount of main memory, etc. and cost. Presently, static algorithms are being used for scheduling VM instances in cloud. Instead of these, an algorithm is proposed here which dynamically detects the load and then schedules the tasks. The main purpose of the proposed scheduling strategy is to find the minimally loaded computational node. Upon receiving task requests from the clients, server has to schedule these to a minimally loaded node among all available computing nodes.
