Abstract
The challenges of adhering to stringent Quality of Service requirements, efficiently utilize resources, and
conserve energy consumption are constantly being faced by Cloud Service Providers. In a bid to proffer
solutions to these challenges, numerous researchers have proposed varied solutions. However, there has
yet to be an all-encompassing solution that tackles all these challenges at once, as these challenges are
often times contrasting. Authors therefore usually focus on one then seek to manage the compromises on
the other(s). In this work, we propose a new scheme for load balancing that uses multiple workload
classes to guarantee end-to-end QoS while conserving energy with little compromise on either.
Experiments were done using CloudSim toolkit and obtained results show that our scheme outperforms
the other approaches both in terms of energy conservation and QoS adherence.
