BeeM-NN: An efficient workload optimization using Bee Mutation Neural Network in federated cloud environment

Abstract

Cloud computing is an extensively implemented technique to handle enormous amount of data as it provides flexibility and scalability features. In an established cloud environment, users process their request to share the data that are stored in it. Under the dynamic cloud environment, multiple requests are processed in a short time, which leads to the problem of resource allocation. Virtual Machines or servers aid the cloud in maintaining the workflow active through proper distribution of resources. However, the accurate workload prediction model is necessary for effective resource management. In the present paper, a novel BeeM-NN framework is proposed through the integration of Workload Neural Network Algorithm (WNNA) and Novel Bee Mutation Optimization Algorithm (NBMOA) for optimized workload prediction in a cloud environment. The proposed model encloses the Fitness Feature Extraction Algorithm initially to extract the feature dataset from Azure public dataset and is provided to train the WNNA. The predicted workloads are optimized with the NBMOA in the cloud. The generated model is tested using the workload data traces from the federated cloud service provider and is evaluated and compared with the existing models. The outcome showed the prediction model achieved an accuracy of 99.98% better than the current models with optimum performance in the consumption of resources and cost. The future work is to use the predicted workloads for scheduling in the cloud. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
