Enhancing Cloud Computing Efficiency with Crocodile Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Approach to Distributed Workload and VM Management

Cloud computing has introduced itself as a mighty mechanism for delivering customers through the service model with on-demand, scalable, and instant access to computer resources. It will conduct effective load balancing and resource management, high importance so that the cloud system works with optimized performance and resource utilization. This gives a new strategy in load balancing and virtual machine (VM) control in cloud computing applied in the field using the Crocodile Optimization Algorithm (COA) for better performance. Inspired by crocodile hunting behaviors, the COA-based strategy is adopted to balance loads and manage VMs. This approach seeks to balance the number of the workload given to VMs with respect to the processing power of VMs and also the distribution of workload. It best uses resources in such a way that tasks are dynamically distributed to VMs in such a way that response time is at its minimum, and thus overall efficiency is enhanced in cloud computing. On the other hand, COA-based load balancing incorporates VM management techniques like migration and scaling to be adjustable in relation to the changing conditions of the workload. This allows dynamically adjusting the allocation of resources with respect to current demands, in such a way that assures optimal utilization of computational resources with high performance. The proposed approach was evaluated using simulations through CloudSim, one of the most adopted tools for simulating cloud computing. The COA effectively works are divided between the VM, which in turn will lead to better response time for the user request and improve cloud resource utilization. That is to mean, subsequent research would be some type of unique attempt in the area of load balancing and VM management in cloud computing, based on the Crocodile Optimization Algorithm. This approach improves efficient cloud computing through the balancing of load distribution, maximization of resource utilization, and lowering of response time.
