Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Elasticity is one of the key-enablers of cloud systems, minimizing the cost of resource provisioning while meeting critical Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of a service level agreement (SLA).
Most internet based services have SLA's that demand stringent performance requirements.
Automated resource provisioning (AutoScaling) is an effective way of dealing with workload fluctuations by allocating resources based on the current demand.
Simple reactive approaches to AutoScaling can have a contrasting effect on performance, while over-provisioning substantially increases the costs.
To tackle these challenges, there is a need for intelligent resource provisioning mechanisms that can model, analyse and predict the resource demand.

This thesis outlines the key practical issues involved in AutoScaling in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud environment and provides tangible solutions.
We study a few prediction models and make a comparative analysis on their strengths and weaknesses.
We then present the predictive elastic resource controller that addresses the issues in AutoScaling by using modelling techniques from statistical analysis.
The research also identifies issues relating to resource demand and capacity estimation in a multi-tenant cloud environment.

A prototype model of the predictive resource controller was implemented on an OpenNebula based cluster.
Real world and artificial workload traces were used to test the efficiency of the model.
We have also made a comparative analysis of our proposed model with a simple, reactive resource controller.
Simulation results show that our model outperforms a simple, reactive resource controller in. terms of prediction error, QoS and number of SLA violations.
