Cloud computing emerges as an alternative to promote quality of service for data-driven applications. Database management systems must be available to support the deployment of cloud applications resorting to databases.Many solutions use database replication as a strategy to increase availability and decentralize the workload of database transactions among replicas. Due to the distribution of database transactions among replicas, load balancing techniques improve the computational resources utilization. However, several solutions use the current state of the database service to make decisions for the distribution of transactions. This article proposes a predictive and elastic load balancing service for replicated cloud databases. Experiments carried out showed that the use of prediction models can help to predict possible SLA violations in time series that represent workloads of cloud-replicated databases.
Cloud computing emerges as an alternative to promote quality of service for data-driven applications. Database Management Systems must be available to support the deployment of cloud applications resorting to databases. Many solutions use database replication as a strategy to increase availability and decentralize the workload of database transactions between replicas. By the distribution of database transactions between replicas, load balancing techniques improve the computational resources utilization. However, several solutions use the current state of the database service in making decisions for the distribution of transactions. This paper proposes a predictive load balancing service for replicated cloud databases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
