Comparison of the SOLA model and ARIMA for Cloud Computing Resources Allocations

Cloud computing solutions are becoming more and more popular as a way for organizations to improve productivity, save costs, and simplify procedures. The advantage of cloud services is that they enable users to store data remotely and access on-demand applications and services from a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing resource allocation faces challenges in load balancing, effective resource management, and compliance with regulatory and legal requirements, requiring complex tools and techniques for optimal use. Most organizations are moving to cloud services and encouraging their clients to access services online. However, effective resource allocation is critical for improving performance and lowering costs in this area. Due to unpredictable network traffic in cloud computing, resource allocation is challenging, which causes customers to complain about application timeouts, delayed system times, and higher bandwidth use during peak hours. This entails allocating resources to various users and programs, such as memory, processing power, storage, and network bandwidth. In this regard, this study compares the ensemble method, which is stepwise Gaussian Linear Autoregressive (SGLA) and the individual method, which is autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The results show SGLA prediction accuracy increased with an average of 97.9%, and ARIMA prediction showed an accuracy of 71.5%. In this regard the ensemble method performed better than individual methods using the same datasets. The study recommends the ensemble method for the prediction and allocation of resources in cloud computing.
