With the advent of evolution of cloud computing, large organizations have been scaling the on-premise IT infrastructure to the cloud. Although this being a popular practice, it lacks comprehensive efforts to study the aspects of automated…

We study the robust sequential screening problem of a monopolist seller of multiple cloud computing services facing a buyer who has private information about his demand distribution for these services. At the time of contracting, the buyer…

Cloud providers sell their idle capacity on markets through an auction-like mechanism to increase their return on investment. The instances sold in this way are called spot instances. In spite that spot instances are usually 90% cheaper…

This paper considers a traditional problem of resource allocation, scheduling jobs on machines. One such recent application is cloud computing, where jobs arrive in an online fashion with capacity requirements and need to be immediately…

Rising trends in the number of customers turning to the cloud for their computing needs has made effective resource allocation imperative for cloud service providers. In order to maximize profits and reduce waste, providers have started to…

Amazon EC2 provides two most popular pricing schemes--i) the {\em costly} on-demand instance where the job is guaranteed to be completed, and ii) the {\em cheap} spot instance where a job may be interrupted. We consider a user can select a…

Premier cloud service providers (CSPs) offer two types of purchase options, namely on-demand and spot instances, with time-varying features in availability and price. Users like startups have to operate on a limited budget and similarly…

New dynamic cloud pricing options are emerging with cloud providers offering resources as a wide range of CPU frequencies and matching prices that can be switched at runtime. On the other hand, cloud providers are facing the problem of…

Cloud providers, like Amazon, offer their data centers' computational and storage capacities for lease to paying customers. High electricity consumption, associated with running a data center, not only reflects on its carbon footprint, but…

Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to…

Many businesses possess a small infrastructure that they can use for their computing tasks, but also often buy extra computing resources from clouds. Cloud vendors such as Amazon EC2 offer two types of purchase options: on-demand and spot…

The cloud computing industry has grown rapidly over the last decade, and with this growth there is a significant increase in demand for compute resources. Demand is manifested in the form of Virtual Machine (VM) requests, which need to be…

Serverless computing platforms currently rely on basic pricing schemes that are static and do not reflect customer feedback. This leads to significant inefficiencies from a total utility perspective. As one of the fastest-growing cloud…

We study a general online combinatorial auction problem in algorithmic mechanism design. A provider allocates multiple types of capacity-limited resources to customers that arrive in a sequential and arbitrary manner. Each customer has a…

Dynamic resource management has become an active area of research in the Cloud Computing paradigm. Cost of resources varies significantly depending on configuration for using them. Hence efficient management of resources is of prime…

In current scenario cloud computing is most widely increasing platform for task execution. Lot of research is going on to cut down the cost and execution time. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to have an effective and fast…

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds offer diverse instance purchasing options. A user can either run instances on demand and pay only for what it uses, or it can prepay to reserve instances for a long period, during which a usage…

Background: The proliferation of cloud providers and provisioning levels has opened a space for cloud brokerage services. Brokers intermediate between cloud customers and providers to assist the customer in selecting the most suitable cloud…

We study a model of congestible resources, where pricing and scheduling are intertwined. Motivated by the problem of pricing cloud instances, we model a cloud computing service as linked $GI/GI/\cdot$ queuing systems where the provider…

Cloud computing is widely adopted by corporate as well as retail customers to reduce the upfront cost of establishing computing infrastructure. However, switching to the cloud based services poses a multitude of questions, both for…
