SLA-Aware Profit Optimization in Cloud Services via Resource Scheduling

In this paper, we present our analysis of resource scheduling to achieve SLA-aware profit optimization in cloud services. This work is part of a real system called Intelligent Cloud Database Coordinator (ICDC), which is being built at the NEC Labs to manage very large cloud service delivery infrastructures. As we present in our performance evaluation, the analysis shows that the choice of resource scheduling policy makes a significant difference in SLA delivery and total profit of the cloud service provider.
