Quality and Security Assurance Workload Scheduling in Heterogeneous Cloud Environment

The adoption of cloud computing has transformed how businesses manage their workloads, offering flexibility and efficiency. This study introduces a novel model that leverages trust mechanisms to ensure secure workload execution within heterogeneous cloud environments. The primary objective of this research was to enhance efficiency by reducing both time and energy consumption associated with executing workloads. The proposed model’s efficacy was assessed through the examination of Montage and Inspiral workloads. The evaluation encompassed two smaller tasks from both Montage and Inspiral workloads, in addition to one larger task. To gauge performance, a comparative analysis was conducted between the proposed model and established models such as Energy Minimized Scheduling (EMS), Efficient Replanning (ERP), and Evolutionary Computing Workload Scheduling (EC-WSC). The findings reveal that the proposed model outperforms the existing models in terms of mitigating both time and energy expenditure for the considered workloads.
