Abstract

Cloud computing is a new technology which its popularity increases every day, a popularity due to its elasticity. On the other words, cloud computing takes into account an unlimited capacity of the resource for the consumer, and the consumer can take resources in demand based on competitive rates and increase or decrease the amount of resources. There have been many improvements to elasticity management by previous researches. However, further reasearches are necessary to manage elasticity more efficiently. In this paper, a model for the elasticity improvement using a colored Petri network is proposed to provide resources in cloud computing. In the proposed model, elasticity management is performed using a colored Petri net in the form of control of the M/M/N queues. In this way, there is a horizontal queue for each request or service in the vertical queue for the need to increase or decrease the virtual machine. The results of the proposed method show an improvment in elasticity, accuracy and speed, compared with the other approaches.
