Abstract

Data centers adapt their operation to changing run-time conditions using energy-aware and SLA-compliant resource management techniques. In this context, current paper presents a novel filter-based dynamic resource management framework for virtualized data centers. By choosing and combining properly software filters performing the scheduling and resource management operations, the framework may be used in what-if analysis. The framework is evaluated by simulation for deploying batch best-effort jobs with time-varying CPU requirements.
