Abstract:
Auction designs have recently been adopted for static and dynamic resource provisioning in IaaS clouds, such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2. However, the existing mechanisms are mostly restricted to simple auctions, single-objective, offline setting, one-sided interactions either among cloud users or cloud service providers (CSPs), and possible misreports of cloud user's private information. This paper proposes a more realistic scenario of online auctioning for IaaS clouds, with the unique characteristics of elasticity for time-varying arrival of cloud user requests under the time-based server maintenance in cloud data centers. We propose an online truthful double auction technique for balancing the multi-objective trade-offs between energy, revenue, and performance in IaaS clouds, consisting of a weighted bipartite matching based winning-bid determination algorithm for resource allocation and a Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) driven algorithm for payment calculation of winning bids. Through rigorous theoretical analysis and extensive trace-driven simulation studies exploiting Google cluster workload traces, we demonstrate that our mechanism significantly improves the performance while promising truthfulness, heterogeneity, economic efficiency, individual rationality, and has a polynomial-time computational complexity.
