Abstract
The rapid growth in the field of cloud computing leads to migration of people to cloud, which makes them feel more tensile and adaptive in the environment. Cloud makes the users give less importance to maintain their hardware and other resources because all these works are done by a service provider. This would restrict the users from spending more money on capital expenditure and so the people are ready to invest more in the cloud. The virtual machine (VM) is a buzz which replaced a traditional physical machine through the method called virtualization. Virtualization is the main objective for establishing cloud services. The core idea of virtualization is to create an instance or virtual machine according to user demands, and the number of servers needed is proportional to the amount need for the resource pool. This paper presents a heuristic algorithm—gravitational search algorithm (GSA)—which formulate an optimal solution for allocating task on the cloud. To analysis the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a comparative study has been done with other heuristic algorithms like the ant colony and particle swarm optimization which is also used for job allocation. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
