Advanced Scheduling in IaaS Clouds

The complexity of modern software libraries and applications makes it hard to predict possible workloads generated by the software that may lead to significant underutilization of hardware in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. In this paper, we give a review of an approach aimed to deal with resource underutilization in cloud environments, including description of a developed software framework and an example algorithm. IaaS clouds following this universal approach can help increase overall cloud resource utilization independently of the variety of cloud applications.
