Efficient Resource Management in Cloud Computing Using Non Operational Elements

---Cloud computing, in particular its Infrastructure as a Service model (IaaS), allows system administrators to obtain resources to distribute their applications and to bear the cost just for the resources that are consumed. Hence, local data centers are replaced by remote infrastructures. Hence, the specific hardware expert needed from system administrators is brought down. Cloud technology needs new skills. Estimating resources that the applications require to execute in the cloud is a complicated task. System administrators often do not know the low-level technical details. Estimations can change based on the cloud service provider features. Finding the efficient provision for a cloud application is also a tedious task. A large number of services offered by a considerable number of providers that are not comparable. In order to assist system administrators this paper focuses an architecture that supports the process of deploying applications in cloud providers, using high level information based on an operational requirement.
