This paper investigates the impact of the database layer on the scaling actions of the business layer of a 3-tier web service system in cloud resource provisioning. The research question is "What is the impact of the database layer on the business layer auto-scaling decisions?" In this work two hypotheses are tested: 1) "Database tier capacity has no effect on the business tier scaling...
Mobile networks are critical for today's social mobility and the Internet. More and more people are subscribing to mobile networks, which has led to substantial demands. The network operators need to find ways of meeting the huge demands. Since mobile network resources, such as spectrum, are expensive, there is a need for efficient management of network resources as well as finding a way to predict...
Cost-performance trade off is one of the critical challenges in cloud computing environments. Predictive auto-scaling systems mitigate this issue by scaling in/out system automatically based on performance prediction results. The goal of this research is to investigate the impact of different prediction results on the scaling actions generated by predictive auto-scaling systems. In this study, predictive...
This paper investigates the accuracy of predictive auto-scaling systems in the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer of cloud computing. The hypothesis in this research is that prediction accuracy of auto-scaling systems can be increased by choosing an appropriate time-series prediction algorithm based on the performance pattern over time. To prove this hypothesis, an experiment has been conducted...
Elasticity is one of the key benefits of cloud computing which helps customers reduce the cost. Although elasticity is beneficiary in terms of cost, obligation of maintaining Service Level Agreements leads to necessity in dealing with the cost-performance trade-off. Proactive auto-scaling is an efficient approach to overcome this problem. In this approach scaling actions are generated based on prediction...
The elasticity characteristic of cloud computing enables clients to acquire and release resources on demand. This characteristic reduces clients' cost by making them pay for the resources they actually have used. On the other hand, clients are obligated to maintain Service Level Agreement (SLA) with their users. One approach to deal with this cost-performance trade-off is employing an auto-scaling...
