Virtual Machine Resource Allocation Optimization in Cloud Computing Based on Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm

Cloud computing is an important milestone in the development of distributed computing as a commercial implementation, and it has good prospects. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an important service mode in cloud computing. It combines massive resources scattered in different spaces into a unified resource pool by means of virtualization technology, facilitating the unified management and use of resources. In IaaS mode, all resources are provided in the form of virtual machines (VM). To achieve efficient resource utilization, reduce users’ costs, and save users’ computing time, VM allocation must be optimized. This paper proposes a new multiobjective optimization method of dynamic resource allocation for multivirtual machine distribution stability. Combining the current state and future predicted data of each application load, the cost of virtual machine relocation and the stability of new virtual machine placement state are considered comprehensively. A multiobjective optimization genetic algorithm (MOGANS) was designed to solve the problem. The simulation results show that compared with the genetic algorithm (GA-NN) for energy saving and multivirtual machine redistribution overhead, the virtual machine distribution method obtained by MOGANS has a longer stability time. Aiming at this shortage, this paper proposes a multiobjective optimization dynamic resource allocation method (MOGA-C) based on MOEA/D for virtual machine distribution. It is illustrated by experimental simulation that moGA-D can converge faster and obtain similar multiobjective optimization results at the same calculation scale.
