Abstract: Cloud computing is different from the traditional computing models such as grid computing and cluster computing,and provides a practical business model for customers to use remote resource.It is natural for cloud providers to maximize their revenue through allocating the pooled computing resources dynamically.It is required to transform the customer-oriented service level metrics into system-oriented operating level metrics,and control the cloud resources adaptively based on Service Level Agreement (SLA).This paper addressed the problem of maximizing the provider’s revenue through SLA-based dynamic resource allocation among the differentiated customers.We formalized the resource allocation problem with queuing theory and proposed the solutions,in which many factors such as pricing mechanisms,arrival rates,service rates and available resources are considered.The experimental results show that our algorithms outperform related work.

Key words: Cloud computing,Service level agreement,Resource allocation,Pricing model
