Abstract
A hybrid cloud that combines both public and private clouds is becoming more and more popular due to the advantages of improved security, scalability, and guaranteed SLA (Service-Level Agreement) at a lower cost than a separate private or public cloud. The existing studies rarely consider VM migrations in a hybrid cloud environment with dynamically changed VM workloads. From an enterprise's perspective, these migrations are necessary to minimize the cost of utilizing public clouds and guarantee SLAs of VMs in a hybrid cloud environment. In this paper, we propose an elastic VM allocation and migration algorithm for a hybrid cloud, called E-VM, to fully utilize the resources in a private cloud and to minimize the cost of using a public cloud while guaranteeing the SLAs of all VMs. The E-VM considers the bi-direction migration between private and public clouds. Two components, VM-predictor and VM-selector, are designed and implemented in E-VM to determine if a migration has to be triggered between private and public clouds and which VMs will be migrated to the opposite cloud, respectively. Moreover, E-VM is designed based on the existing public cloud pricing models and can be easily adapted to any cloud service provider. According to simulator results based on a set of captured industrial VM traces/workloads and additional experiments directly on a real-world hybrid cloud, the proposed E-VM can significantly reduce the total cost of using the public cloud compared to the existing VM migration schemes.
