A survey on virtual machine scheduling in cloud computing

Cloud computing is known as a provider of dynamic services using very large scalable and virtualized resources over the Internet. Resource scheduling of multiple virtual machines (VMs) is the core of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). We aimed to study various algorithms and schedulers in VM sheduling, and identify research directions in this area. In this paper, the related model and characteristics of VM scheduling are described. Then a variety of VM schedulers are reviewed and classified, also the features of these schedulers are expressed.
