EcoSLA-RL: A Reinforcement Learning-Based Approach for Optimizing SLA and Execution Costs in Cloud Data Centers
摘要
As the demand for economically efficient cloud computing services grows, optimizing VM usage costs and reducing computational expenses are essential for providing better user value. This paper introduces the proposed model, EcoSLA-RL, an algorithm based on reinforcement learning for virtual machine (VM) consolidation in data centers, validated through simulations. Our goal is to provide a robust, user cost-efficient solution by leveraging reinforcement learning for dynamic consolidation, focusing on minimizing computational costs while effectively addressing challenges related to fluctuating workloads and SLA compliance. EcoSLA-RL achieved computation cost reductions of over 10% compared to other algorithms, while maintaining an SLA violation rate as low as 0.053% in large-scale environments.
