Abstract
We deal with a reservation-based cloud service broker (R-CSB). The main role of the R-CSB is to provide application execution services or Software-as-a-Service. The R-CSB makes a profit by an arbitrage between cloud service consumers and providers, and service fees from the consumers. In this paper, we first present detail concepts and architecture of the R-CSB. Also, to reduce the VM leasing cost, we discuss two schemes. The VM reservation scheme (C-VMR) makes the R-CSB reduce the VM leasing cost via leasing an appropriate number of reserved VMs. In addition to the C-VMR, we also present the VM allocation scheme (C-VMA) to allocate applications to VMs cost-effectively. Performance evaluation results show that the C-VMR has lower cost than other approaches and the C-VMA shows has higher average VM utilization than the conventional methods in most cases.
