Abstract

Allocating the right amount of resources to each service in any of the data centers in a cloud environment is a very difficult task. In a previous work we considered the case where only two data centers are available and proposed a stochastic based placement algorithm to find a solution that minimizes the expected total cost of ownership. This approximation algorithm seems to work well for a very large family of overflow cost functions, which contains three functions that describe the most common practical situations. In this paper we generalize this work for arbitrary number of data centers and develop a generalized mechanism to assign services to data centers based on the available resources in each data center and the distribution of the demand for each service. We further show, using simulations based on synthetic data that the scheme performs very well on different service workloads.
