Abtract: Cloud Computing is among the fastest growing topics in computing research today. Although the idea of offering computational power as a service is not novel, it did not publically become available before Clouds. Clouds are fundamentally different from their predecessors (Grids/Clusters) and thus require specific expertise to be properly utilized. Today, there are literally hundreds of cloud providers in all forms and scales. Computing needs (applications) have also become increasingly diverse. In this talk, I will describe challenges with the dynamicity and heterogeneity of resources and the diversity of applications from resource management perspective. Then, I will discuss how we can turn these challenges into opportunities for cloud systems’ efficiency.
