Abstract : Cloud computing enables users to rent computing resources on-demand towards meeting the needs of diverse applications. However, scaling of resources may incur significant impact on performance and power consumption which are the two key concerns for cloud service providers. The major goal of cloud providers is to develop policies for balancing the conflicting objectives of maximizing performance and minimizing energy consumption. Towards this goal, we analyze the impact of scale-up and scale-out techniques for varying cloud workloads through an OpenStack implementation. Our analysis reveals that these techniques vary with the nature of applications that run on the cloud as a result of which policies need to be developed on a per-application basis. We develop a threshold-based policy which determines the optimal trade-off depending on the application profile. Our proposed policy is generic and can be applied to other workloads thus facilitating efficient management of resources.
