Resource allocation is an important aspect in cloud computing. In Cloud Computing environment, the user can access required resources in the form of a service. The resource may be a platform, a software or infrastructure. In an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Cloud, users send requests to the cloud-provider in the form of a
lease
; The cloud-provider makes a scheduling plan for leases in order to maximize the number of leases it can accommodate. A lease stores information about the required resources, including the time at which the resources are required.
Haizea
is a popular resource lease manager which handles the scheduling of such leases. An algorithm for deadline sensitive leases is presented which accepts more number of leases by dividing a lease into multiple slots and by backfilling already accommodated leases. Experimental results show that our scheduling algorithm gives better performance than existing algorithms in Haizea.
