Abstract

Advancement in electronics and hardware has resulted in multiple softwares running on the same hardware. The result is multiuser, multitasking and virtualized environments.  However, reliability of such high performance computing systems depends both on hardware and software.  For hardware, aging can be dealt with replacement. But, software aging needs to be dealt with software only. For aging detection, a new approach using machine learning framework has been proposed in this paper. For rejuvenation, Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (A-GA) has been developed to perform live migration to avoid downtime and SLA violation. The proposed A-GA based rejuvenation controller (A-GARC) has outperformed other heuristic techniques such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and best fit decreasing (BFD) for migration. Results reveal that the proposed aging forecasting method and A-GA based rejuvenation outperforms other approaches to ensure optimal system availability, minimum task migration, performance degradation and SLA violation.

Abstract

With the emergence of virtualization and cloud computing technologies, several services are housed on virtualization platform. Virtualization is the technology that many cloud service providers rely on for efficient management and coordination of the resource pool. As essential services are also housed on cloud platform, it is necessary to ensure continuous availability by implementing all necessary measures.  Windows Active Directory is one such service that Microsoft developed for Windows domain networks. It is included in Windows Server  operating systems as a set of processes and services for authentication and authorization of users and computers in a Windows domain type network. The service is required to run continuously without downtime. As a result, there are chances of accumulation of errors or garbage leading to software aging which in turn may lead to system failure and associated consequences. This results in software aging. In this work, software aging patterns of Windows active directory service is studied. Software aging of active directory needs to be predicted properly so that rejuvenation can be triggered to ensure continuous service delivery. In order to predict the accurate time, a model that uses time series forecasting technique is built.
