Implementation of a Power Saving Method for Virtual Machine Management in Cloud

In this paper, open source and PHP web programming are used to implement dynamic resource allocation in a virtual machine management system for energy saving. We adopted system integrated open source software like KVM and Libvirt API, and energy saving algorithms developed by our own research to construct an energy efficient virtualization management platform in the cloud. From analysis of the experimental results of live migration of virtual machines, we demonstrate that efficient use of hardware resources is realized by the dynamic resource allocation algorithm, and the aim of energy saving is achieved.
