Abstract

CloudSim is a widely used simulation framework for modeling and evaluating cloud computing environments. This paper presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of CloudSim focusing on various resource allocation strategies. Resource allocation is a critical aspect in cloud computing, impacting system efficiency, resource utilization, and user satisfaction. The study employs CloudSim to simulate different allocation strategies such as VM provisioning, scheduling policies, and load balancing techniques. Performance metrics including response time, throughput, scalability, and resource utilization are analyzed under varying workloads and scenarios. The findings contribute to understanding the effectiveness and limitations of different resource allocation strategies in CloudSim, providing insights for optimizing cloud infrastructure management.
