Abstract
Deep reinforcement learning is rapidly emerging as a transformative approach for distributed network management in dynamic and heterogeneous cloud environments. This paper presents a novel intelligent framework that embeds advanced DRL agents with hierarchical feature extraction into cloud-based Distributed Network Management Systems, enabling precise and adaptive control over network resources, topologies, cand service isolation. By constructing a high-fidelity simulation environment based on NS-3, the effectiveness of the framework has been fully validated in both threshold driven and static methods. Research shows that DRL-based systems can still maintain throughput stability in the face of topology changes, node failures, tenant traffic fluctuations, or throughput delays. The framework ensures network performance during large-scale failures and rapid expansions thru robustness and scalability analysis. Despite these advantages, computational overhead and policy convergence are issues during large-scale deployment. The research findings indicate that the key to enhancing real-time cloud network intelligence lies in the architecture based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). These findings provide useful guidelines for future engineering projects to ensure that network management infrastructure possesses autonomy, flexibility, and efficiency.
A hybrid Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework that combines Deep Q-Network, Proximal Policy Optimization and Advantage Actor-Critic to enable adaptive resource scheduling in cloud environments is proposed.

The rapid evolution of machine learning (ML) models and the surge in data volumes necessitate scalable and efficient deployment strategies. Cloud-based distributed systems offer on-demand scalability and resource flexibility, making them ideal for real-time ML model deployment and scaling. This paper explores optimization techniques for cloud-based distributed systems to enhance the deployment and scaling of ML models in real-time applications. We examine the integration of distributed systems and ML within cloud environments, focusing on scalable training and inference mechanisms. Key considerations such as task partitioning, communication overhead, fault tolerance, and resource optimization are discussed. Furthermore, we review auto-scaling techniques, highlighting advancements and challenges in dynamically adjusting resources to meet fluctuating demands. The paper also delves into the application of machine learning for cloud resource provisioning, emphasizing dynamic allocation based on real-time usage patterns. By synthesizing current research and practices, this study provides insights into effectively leveraging cloud-based distributed systems for real-time ML model deployment and scaling.

Future 6G networks will integrate communication and computing capabilities to support intelligent, delay-sensitive services. In heterogeneous cloud-edge environments, however, task offloading and routing decisions are strongly coupled, and dynamic workloads, limited computing resources, and constrained link capacity make efficient service provisioning challenging. Existing reinforcement learning-based offloading methods can improve decision efficiency, but many focus on simplified or single-domain settings and do not adequately account for backbone topology and bandwidth constraints. To address this problem, this paper studies joint task offloading and routing optimization in multi-domain cloud-edge networks, explicitly modeling network topology and link capacity. We propose a cooperative multi-agent deep reinforcement learning method that coordinates distributed edge agents through centralized training and decentralized execution. Routing optimization feedback is further incorporated to guide constraint-aware policy learning. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces end-to-end latency, mitigates network congestion, and avoids link and node overload in cloud-edge networks.
