Abstract:
In cloud computing, effective resource management is essential to maintain performance, reduce operational costs, and meet service-level agreements (SLAs). Traditional autoscaling techniques are mostly reactive, adjusting resources only after a workload surge is detected. This delay often causes over-provisioning, which wastes resources, or under-provisioning, which leads to performance degradation.
This project introduces Cloud Insight, an intelligent and proactive workload forecasting framework that enables predictive cloud resource management. Unlike single-model approaches, Cloud Insight uses an ensemble of machine learning algorithms—including Linear Regression, ARIMA, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Neural Networks—to accurately forecast upcoming application workloads.
A key innovation in Cloud Insight is the Model Builder, which assigns dynamic weights to each predictor based on real-time performance using SVM-based regression. These weighted predictions are combined to form a robust ensemble model that adapts to varying workload patterns such as bursty, periodic, or irregular loads. The system continuously learns and improves through feedback loops that compare predicted and actual workloads.
By anticipating demand, Cloud Insight enables proactive resource provisioning, leading to improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and SLA compliance. The framework has been implemented using Java, Oracle, and Apache Tomcat, and tested with real-time data. Results show that Cloud Insight significantly enhances prediction accuracy and system responsiveness compared to traditional methods.
This solution demonstrates the power of machine learning in automating cloud infrastructure and provides a scalable, intelligent approach to modern cloud workload management.
