Chamulteon: Coordinated Auto-Scaling of Micro-Services

Nowadays, in order to keep track of the fast-changing requirements of Internet applications, auto-scaling is used as an essential mechanism for adapting the number of provisioned resources to the resource demand. The straightforward approach is to deploy a set of common and opensource single-service auto-scalers for each service independently....

Which Cloud Auto-Scaler Should I Use for my Application?: Benchmarking Auto-Scaling Algorithms: Poster Paper

Rapid elasticity is one of the essential characteristics of cloud computing identified by NIST. Elasticity allows resources to be provisioned and released to scale rapidly out ward and in ward according to demand. Tens -- if not hundreds -- of algorithms have been proposed in the literature to automatically achieve elastic provisioning. These...
