Abstract: Autonomic Computing is an effective method to make complex IT system to realize self-recovery and self-management．But in cloud environment,with the rapid growth of the computing resources,traditional resources algorithms and models can not allocate the resources effectively,therefore the resources usage rate is very low．To enhance the resource management efficiency,this paper proposed an autonomic computing model for cloud environment,which divides the autonomic manager into master and slave,uses hierarchical management to solve the bottleneck problem when dealing with massive requests,and uses the mixed policies method for different fault recovery requests．This model can lower the resources management cost in cloud environment and meet the SLA that cloud services need.

Key words: Cloud environment,Autonomic computing,Hierarchical management,Fault recovery
