Abstract

Efficient resource allocation in Cloud computing necessitates the capability to accurately predict and adapt to Cloud workloads with both precision and flexibility. Nevertheless, current approaches struggle to predict Cloud workloads with high dimensionality. This leads to inefficient resource utilization and the failure to meet service level agreements (SLAs). For these important challenges to be addressed, a dynamic recurrent neural network is proposed to accurately predict workloads. The proposed algorithm integrates an auto-encoder to effectively extract representations from the original workload data with high dimensionality to enable adaptive and accurate predictions for highly variable workloads. Experiments are conducted using Google Cloud data centers to validate the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed scheme across various workload types and prediction lengths. The proposed scheme achieves 81.48% lower MSE and maintains an MSE of 0.005 to 0.015 compared to traditional Deep learning-based methods with up to 0.027 for Cloud workloads. This is achieved by successfully predicting continuous resource metrics (CPU/Memory/GPU utilization) rather than categorical labels, demonstrating strong adaptability across various prediction lengths.

A CNN and BiLSTM Network for Predicting Job Failures in Dynamic Cloud Workloads

Cloud service providers face significant challenges in preventing hardware and software failures due to the large-scale and heterogeneous nature of cloud computing. Although many studies have focused on characterising failed jobs, fewer have explored proactive failure prediction. This paper presents a deep learning-based failure prediction model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks to identify job failures before they occur. The proposed model improves the performance of cloud computing applications by reducing job failures and optimising resource utilisation. Using the Google Cluster Traces dataset, we analyse failure patterns and evaluate the effectiveness of the model across multiple performance metrics. The results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed scheme, achieving an accuracy of 99.96%, along with a high F1-score of 99.92% when compared to existing models. These findings highlight the potential of deep learning in proactive failure mitigation, providing a foundation for future advances in cloud workload reliability.

AI-Enabled Workload Prediction for Elastic Cloud Computing Systems

In conclusion, the proposed AI-based workload prediction framework significantly enhances cloud resource management by accurately forecasting future workload demands and enabling proactive resource allocation. By utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques such as LSTM, Random Forest Regression, and Gradient Boosting, the system improves resource utilization, reduces response time, lowers operational costs, and minimizes SLA violations. The results demonstrate superior prediction accuracy compared to traditional methods, leading to better Quality of Service (QoS) and energy efficiency. This study highlights the potential of AI-driven predictive analytics to transform cloud computing from reactive resource management to intelligent, autonomous, and adaptive cloud ecosystems. Future research can further improve performance through the integration of federated learning, reinforcement learning, and edge-cloud computing technologies.

Two Stage Decomposition with Hybrid BiLSTM-BiGRU Networks for Accurate and Efficient Data Center Workload Prediction

Accurate workload prediction in cloud data centers is essential for efficient resource management, yet high-dimensional and noisy operational data often hinder forecasting performance. This work extends the original CVCBM model by integrating a lightweight Bidirectional GRU (BiGRU) with Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) to enhance prediction efficiency while maintaining temporal feature extraction. Initially, workload signals are denoised and decomposed using a two-stage process—Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) followed by Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Sample Entropy (SE) selects meaningful components, and K-Means clustering prioritizes high workload data for training. The hybrid Conv1D-BiLSTM-BiGRU architecture captures multi-scale temporal patterns and both short-term and long-term dependencies. The trained model is deployed using the Flask framework for real-time workload prediction, allowing interactive input of datasets and immediate forecasting. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the extended model reduces computational overhead while improving prediction accuracy, providing robust, scalable, and real-time forecasting for cloud data center resource management.
