Item MatchCloud: Service Matching for Multi Cloud Marketplace(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Chakma, A.; Kumar, S.; Mahato, P.K.; Satpathy, A.; Addya, S.K.The modern applications execute in the cloud via independent executable entities called virtual machines (VMs). In a typical multi-SP market with variable pricing and heterogeneous resource demands of VMs, resource allocation/placement is particularly challenging. To maximize the social welfare of the multi-SP markets, in this paper, we propose a resource allocation technique called MatchCloud formulated as a one-to-many matching game. Owing to the in-applicability of the classical deferred acceptance algorithm (DAA) due to size heterogeneity, we adopt a modified version of the algorithm. Moreover, preference generation is crucial for matching markets. Hence, we also present a simple yet efficient technique to assign preferences to two different stakeholders, i.e., VMs and SPs. Simulation results show that VM proposing RDA performs better compared to when SPs propose. © 2021 IEEE.Item Performance Analysis of Disruptive Instances in Cloud Environment(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Nandy, P.; Saha, R.; Satpathy, A.; Chakraborty, S.; Addya, S.K.Virtualization enables the service providers (SPs) to logically partition the resources into virtual machines (VM) instances. Real-world SPs such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft Azure, IBM, and Oracle provide different flavors of VM instances, such as on-demand, reserved, and low-cost or spot, depending on the type of application hosted. The on-demand instances are short-term and typically incur a higher cost than reserved instances that are provisioned for a longer duration at a discounted rate. Low-cost or spot instances are cost-effective compared to on-demand but are reclaimable by the SPs. The SPs often claim that the on-demand and spot instances achieve similar performance, but it is far from that. This paper studies the performance of spot instances via rigorous experimentation over commercial SPs such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Real-world evaluations affirm that spot instances perform poorly compared to their on-demand counterpart concerning memory, CPU, disk read, and write operations. We identify such instances as disruptive and name them so because it does not fulfill the performance, durability, and flexibility expectations like an on-demand instance having the same configuration. We also perform hypothesis testing over the experimental data obtained to corroborate our claim further. © 2024 IEEE.
