Table 1 Summary of resource management definitions, actors, and QoS/SLA aspects considered in each definition
Work | Summary | Actors | QoS | SLA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
[108] | Three phases: provisioning, scheduling, monitoring | Cloud provider (infra. and workload mgmt.) and cloud consumer (end user) | Yes | Yes |
[52] | Organized in three tiers (one per role) and a total of 15 different stages, including scheduling, provisioning, pricing, profiling, and monitoring. | Cloud provider (infra. mgmt.), cloud user (broker), end user (execute workload) | Yes | Yes |
[72] | Nine components: provisioning, allocation, adaptation, mapping, modeling, estimation, discovery, brokering, and scheduling | No specific actors are identified; implicit assumption of at least two roles: cloud provider and cloud user | Yes | No |
[80] | Two tasks: procurement and release of resources. Two objectives: performance isolation and efficient use of hardware. Seven metrics: energy, SLA, load, network load, profit, hybrid clouds, and mobile clouds. | No specific actors are identified; implicit assumption of at least two roles: cloud provider and cloud user | No | Yes |
[75] | Three aspects affected: performance, functionality, and cost. Five policy classes: admission control, capacity allocation, load balancing, energy optimization, and QoS. | Cloud provider and cloud user. | Yes | No |
[125] | Predicting workload to enable workload consolidation while meeting SLAs. | No specific actors | Yes | Yes |
[69] | Two main activities: matching and scheduling. | No specific actors | Yes | Yes |
