Machine Learning for Cloud Management
暫譯: 雲端管理的機器學習

雲端運算提供基於訂閱的按需服務，並已成為計算產業的支柱。它使我們能夠通過虛擬化在多個用戶之間共享資源，虛擬化創建了一個運行在抽象硬體層上的計算機系統的虛擬實例。與早期的分散式計算模型不同，雲端運算通過其大型雲端數據中心提供幾乎無限的計算資源。在過去幾年中，它獲得了廣泛的普及，基礎設施不斷增長，用戶數量和托管數據量也在不斷增加。這些數據中心上托管的大型和複雜工作負載帶來了許多挑戰，包括資源利用率、能耗、可擴展性和運營成本。因此，制定有效的資源管理方案對於實現運營效率和提高彈性至關重要。基於機器學習的解決方案最適合解決這些問題，因為它們可以分析和學習數據。此外，它為解決方案帶來自動化，這在處理雲端範式中的大型分散式系統時是一個重要因素。

《雲端管理的機器學習》探討了通過預測建模和虛擬機器配置進行雲端資源管理。預測方法是使用基於回歸的時間序列分析和神經網絡模型開發的。基於神經網絡的模型主要使用進化算法進行訓練，並使用多目標遺傳算法開發高效的虛擬機器配置方案。

主要特點：
- 本書是第一本提出一系列機器學習方法以實現大型分散式雲端網絡中高效資源管理的書籍。
- 預測分析是高效雲端資源管理的不可或缺的一部分，本書為該領域的研究人員提供了未來的研究方向。
- 本書由國際領先的研究人員撰寫。

本書非常適合從事雲端運算領域研究的研究人員。
