Abstract:
This project aims to optimize resource utilization and energy efficiency in cloud environments through Cloud Virtual Machine Consolidation. Leveraging Python and web technologies, the proposed system intelligently consolidates virtual machines (VMs) on cloud servers to enhance resource utilization, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall performance.
Existing System:
Current cloud environments often rely on static or manually managed VM placements. This approach can result in suboptimal resource utilization, leading to increased operational costs and energy consumption. The lack of dynamic consolidation mechanisms limits adaptability to changing workloads.
Proposed System:
The proposed system introduces an advanced Cloud Virtual Machine Consolidation approach that dynamically optimizes VM placements based on real-time workload demands. Machine learning algorithms predict future resource requirements, facilitating intelligent VM consolidation to minimize underutilization and overprovisioning. The system’s web interface provides administrators with an interactive platform to monitor and manage the consolidation process.
Modules Explanation:
- Workload Prediction Module:
- Utilizes machine learning algorithms to predict future resource demands of VMs based on historical data and current workload patterns.
- Consolidation Decision Module:
- Makes intelligent decisions on VM consolidations by considering predicted workloads, server capacities, and energy efficiency goals.
- Real-time Monitoring Module:
- Monitors the current state of VMs, servers, and resource utilization in real-time.
- Web Interface:
- Provides a user-friendly dashboard for administrators to monitor the system, configure consolidation policies, and view historical performance metrics.
