A study on resource provisioning approaches in autonomic cloud computing

Cloud computing is a large scale and heterogeneous distributed systems which are utilized to store and access the data easily. The clients are requesting and receive their resources as per the requirements. The number of users and services are increasing tremendously day by day. Thus, the resource management in the cloud is a challenging task. Hence, they required some automated strategies for dynamic provisioning to provide services which are secure and reliable. The autonomic resource provisioning is used to reduce financial and environmental cost with more efficiency. This paper presents different types of autonomic resource management approaches. It gives the overall advantages and limitations of various autonomic provisioning techniques. This paper would benefit both Cloud users and researchers to better understand about autonomic resource management.
