Abstract

The Cloud computing model is based on the use of virtual resources and their placement on physical servers hosted in the different data centers. Those data centers are known to be big energy consumers. The allocation of virtual machines within servers has a paramount role in optimizing energy consumption of the underlying infrastructure in order to satisfy the environmental and economic constraints. Since then, various hardware and software solutions have emerged. Among these strategies, we highlight the optimization of virtual machine scheduling in order to improve the quality of service and the energy efficiency. Through this paper, we propose firstly, to study energy consumption in the Cloud environment based on the GreenCloud simulator. Secondly, we define a scheduling solution aimed at reducing energy consumption via a better resource allocation strategy by privileging data center powered by clean energy. The main contributions of this paper are the use of the Taguchi concept to evaluate the Cloud model and the introduction of scheduling policy based on the simulated annealing algorithm.
