Abstract

Cloud Computing has become mature enough to enable the virtualized management of multiple datacentres. Datacentre consolidation is an important method for the efficient operation of such distributed infrastructures. Several approaches have been developed to improve the efficiency e.g. in terms of power consumption, but only a few attention has been turned to combining pricing methods with consolidation techniques. In this paper we discuss how we introduced cost models to the DISSECT-CF simulator to foster the development of cost efficient datacentre consolidation solutions. We also exemplify the usage of this extended simulator by performing cost-aware datacentre consolidation. We apply real world traces to simulate cloud load, and propose 7 strategies to address the problem.
