Cloud computing is the latest evolution in the distributed computing paradigm and is being widely adopted by enterprises and organizations. The inherent benefits like instant scalability, pay for use, rapid elasticity, cost effectiveness, self-manageable service delivery and broader network access make cloud computing ‘the preferred platform’ for deploying applications and services. However, the technology being in nascent stage needs to be proven. The biggest challenge confronting service providers is effective provisioning and scheduling of cloud services to consumers leveraging the cost benefits of this computing paradigm. This paper attempts to investigate the key concerns for cloud resource management and explores possible alternatives that can be adapted from the existing Grid technology.
