Many well-known virtual machine monitors(VMMs)such as Xen and KVM,adopt this approach to help maximize the yield of the cloud datacenters That is,with proper resource oversubscription strategies,more virtual machines(VMs) can be supported by limited resources.

In this paper,we present a resource oversubscription strategy called Sponge targeting cloud platforms Sponge mitigates the issue of performance interference among the oversubscribed co-hosting VMs. Sponge also provides a VM association strategy for each PM to handle with its besteffort. We performed our evaluation on a virtua datacenter simulated by Xen. Our evaluation results show that Sponge improves the resources utilization and manages to make each VM mee its performance requirement even hosting with other VMs in the same PM.展开更多
