Cost Aware Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing: A Comparison of Heuristic and Greedy Approaches

Cloud computing has become an essential platform for delivering scalable and on-demand computing resources. However, inefficient resource allocation often leads to increased operational costs and poor utilization of available resources. This paper focuses on addressing this issue by proposing a cost-aware resource allocation approach using a heuristic method and comparing its performance with a greedy allocation strategy. The heuristic approach assigns resources based on the actual requirements of tasks, aiming to minimize resource wastage and reduce overall cost. In contrast, the greedy method makes quick allocation decisions without considering future needs, which can result in over-provisioning. Experimental results demonstrate that the heuristic approach achieves better cost efficiency and improved resource utilization compared to the greedy method. The findings highlight that simple, rule-based allocation strategies can significantly enhance performance in cloud environments while maintaining low computational complexity.

AI-Driven Adaptive Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing using a Hybrid Optimization Method

Resource allocation in the cloud-edges is extremely important to reduce the time of execution, energy usage, and service-level agreement (SLA) breaches when experiencing dynamic workloads. In this paper, the author has proposed an elite co-evolution hybrid optimization model, Hybrid Hierarchical Optimization for Cloud Allocation (H2O-Cloud), which combines Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) using periodic elite migration and adaptive multi-objective evaluation. The suggested approach is also optimal in terms of makespan, SLA violation rate, energy consumption, and resource usage. Real world Azure LLM Inference Trace datasets (both code-generation, conversational AI) were used to run experiments. The analysis took into account scalable loads of 300 to 1200 tasks on heterogeneous cloud virtual machines, edge-only and hybrid edge-cloud infrastructure. Measurements confirm that H2O-Cloud is drastically more efficient than traditional FCFS scheduling with the maximum makespan decrease of 39.7% and throughput enhancement of 65.8% and SLA violation decrease of 17.1% when using the cloud only (900-task workload). The proposed approach results in an 8.0 percent reduction in makespan and a better resource utilization than PSO. Moreover, H2O-Cloud remains competitive in terms of energy efficiency and also shows better scalability to a larger amount of tasks. The strength of the proposed approach is statistically verified with the help of paired tests. This hybrid co-evolution mechanism contributes to both global exploration and local refinement at the same time, which allows the stable convergence and best load balancing on heterogeneous resources. The framework also exhibits high flexibility in edge-cloud hybrid systems, which minimizes SLA breaches and balances the energy usage. The experimental results confirm H2O-Cloud as a strong, scalable and SLA conscious resource provision strategy to next-generation AI-driven cloud computing systems.

SPES: A Stochastic Predictive Energy-Aware Scheduling Approach for Efficient Multi-Region Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has transformed the delivery of modern applications and services by providing scalable, flexible, and cost-effective access to computing resources. One of the most critical challenges in cloud environments is the efficient distribution of dynamic workloads across heterogeneous resources, commonly addressed through load balancing and task scheduling techniques. Efficient scheduling plays a vital role in maximizing resource utilization, minimizing response time, and maintaining acceptable Quality of Service (QoS), particularly under dynamic and large-scale workloads. Despite the progress achieved by traditional heuristics such as Min-Min and metaheuristic approaches like the Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (ISSA), challenges related to scalability, adaptability, and computational overhead remain. Metaheuristic-based approaches often involve iterative optimization processes that may limit their efficiency in real-time scheduling scenarios. In this paper, we propose a lightweight Stochastic Predictive Energy-Aware Scheduling (SPES) algorithm that integrates predictive execution estimation, multi-resource awareness, and stochastic decision-making. Unlike deterministic scheduling strategies, SPES employs a Top K candidate selection mechanism combined with probabilistic weighting and epsilon-greedy exploration to enhance adaptability and avoid suboptimal resource allocation. The proposed method considers CPU, memory, and I/O demands to achieve balanced utilization across heterogeneous hosts while implicitly addressing energy efficiency through utilization-based modeling. The proposed algorithm is implemented and evaluated using the CloudSim 5.0 simulation framework under heterogeneous multi-region cloud environments with varying workload sizes. Experimental results demonstrate that SPES consistently outperforms ISSA and achieves makespan reductions of up to 23.8% while improving scalability, resource utilization, and scheduling efficiency under dynamic cloud workloads. These results indicate that SPES provides an effective lightweight scheduling solution for large-scale and energy-aware cloud computing environments and supports green computing objectives through improved resource efficiency.
