Cloud monitoring activity involves dynamically tracking the Quality of Service (QoS)
parameters related to virtualized resources (eg, VM, storage, network, appliances, etc.), the …

Federation of clouds is the future of cloud computing, mobile cloud computing, Internet of
things, and big data applications. The utilization of federated resources is envisioned to …

Elasticity is a key feature in the cloud computing context, and perhaps what distinguishes
this computing paradigm of the other ones, such as cluster and grid computing. Considering …

Cloud elasticity provides a software system with the ability to maintain optimal user
experience by automatically acquiring and releasing resources, while paying only for what …

Auto-scaling features enable cloud applications to maintain enough resources to satisfy
demand spikes, reduce costs and keep performance in check. Most auto-scaling strategies …

Elasticity can be seen as the ability of a system to increase or decrease the computing
resources allocated in a dynamic and on demand way. It is an important feature provided by …

Many Internet applications can benefit from an automatic scaling property where their
resource usage can be scaled up and down automatically by the cloud service provider. We …

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to affordable hardware (eg, multi-core CPUs,
GPUs, disks, and networking equipment) and software (eg, databases, application servers …

Cloud computing is a computational model in which resource providers can offer on-
demand services to clients in a transparent way. However, to be able to guarantee quality of …

The transition to cloud computing offers a large number of benefits, such as lower capital
costs and a highly agile environment. Yet, the development of software engineering …
