A Survey on Efficient Utilization of Virtual Machines in Cloud Computing

This survey paper delves into the effective utilization of virtual machines (VMs) in cloud computing. It underscores the significance of VM usage in both cloud computing technology and virtualization. The paper encompasses consolidation, scaling, and load balancing strategies, which aim to improve resource allocation efficiency. It searches into monitoring, performance tuning, and power management methods to enhance virtual machine efficiency. The survey explores emerging patterns such as Containerization and serverless computing and assesses how these trends affect the management of resources. The survey tackles issues like multi-tenancy and fragmentation, putting forward potential solutions. The paper compiles existing research to provide a comprehensive view of efficient VM strategies, assisting researchers and practitioners in making informed decisions and contributing to the evolution of cloud computing.
