Abstract

Cloud service selection and financial expense are two main concerns of users considering adoption of cloud computing services. In this paper, we propose a novel cloud federation that is cognitive to the dynamic prices. The cloud federation system first determines on which cloud services should the user applications be deployed. Then, when a cloud provider is charging too high for a VM, the proposed system automatically migrates user tasks to a cloud system that is charging at a lower rate. We discuss the architectural framework and platform design, provide a mathematic formulation and investigate a total service fee minimization approach with privacy constraints. Preliminary simulation results demonstrate the proposed system can lower the cost of cloud services by exploiting the advantages of different price policies provided by multiple cloud providers.
