and an indirect effect on the functionality of a system.

TRUE

FALSE

Cloud resource management is extremely challenging because of the complexity of the *

system, which makes it impossible to have accurate global state information, and because of
the unpredictable interactions with the environment.

Feedback control based on dynamic thresholds. The elements involved in a control system are
sensors, monitors, and actuators.

The sensors measure the parameter(s) of interest, then transmit the measured values to a monitor,

Scheduling algorithms for computing clouds *

Scheduling is a critical component of cloud resource management.

Scheduling is responsible for resource sharing/multiplexing at several levels.

To meet its design objectives, a scheduling algorithm should be efficient, fair, and starvation-free.

Priority algorithms

All the above

A scheduling algorithm has to manage several quantities at the same time: *

The bandwidth

The amount of data each flow is allowed to transport

The timing when the packets of individual flows are transmitted

The buffer space allocated to each flow.

All the above
