Il cloud computing uno dei campi distribuiti pi promettenti, che ha dato un nuovo volto al settore distribuito. Il cloud computing emerso di recente come un nuovo modello per ospitare e fornire servizi su Internet. Lo scopo principale del cloud computing quello di fornire le risorse come servizi al cliente. In questa tesi studiamo l'architettura del cloud computing, che comprende tre noti servizi diversi forniti dal cloud computing, che sono Infrastructure as a Service IaaS, SaaS e PaaS e tali servizi sono forniti da tre diversi tipi di cloud, che sono cloud privato, cloud pubblico e cloud ibrido. In questo studio vengono discussi anche i diversi livelli dell'architettura del cloud computing. Due sono le questioni principali. Il primo "l'allocazione di macchine virtuali efficienti" e il secondo "la riallocazione delle macchine virtuali". La prima questione riguarda i diversi algoritmi di bilanciamento del carico utilizzati per l'allocazione delle macchine virtuali. In qualche modo, se il cloud non riesce a fornire la macchina virtuale al cliente, si ricorre al concetto di riallocazione, ossia alla migrazione della macchina virtuale da una macchina di origine a un'altra macchina di destinazione.

Cloud Computing ist einer der vielversprechendsten verteilten Bereiche, der dem verteilten Bereich ein neues Gesicht gegeben hat. Cloud Computing hat sich vor kurzem als neues Modell f r das Hosting und die Bereitstellung von Diensten ber das Internet etabliert. Das Hauptziel des Cloud Computing ist die Bereitstellung von Ressourcen als Dienste f r den Kunden. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir die Architektur des Cloud Computing, die drei bekannte unterschiedliche Dienste umfasst, die durch das Cloud Computing bereitgestellt werden: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), SaaS und PaaS. Diese Dienste werden von drei verschiedenen Cloud-Typen bereitgestellt: Private Cloud, Public Cloud und Hybrid Cloud. In dieser Studie werden auch Studien ber die verschiedenen Schichten der Cloud-Computing-Architektur er rtert. Zwei Hauptthemen. Erstens die "Zuweisung effizienter virtueller Maschinen" und zweitens die "Neuzuweisung der virtuellen Maschinen". Das erste Problem betrifft die verschiedenen Lastausgleichsalgorithmen, die f r die Zuweisung von virtuellen Maschinen verwendet werden. Wenn die Cloud dem Kunden die virtuelle Maschine nicht zur Verf gung stellen kann, wird das Konzept der Neuzuweisung, d. h. die Migration der virtuellen Maschine von einer Quellmaschine auf eine andere Zielmaschine, angewendet.
