A Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Model for Optimal Resource Allocation and Task Scheduling in Cloud Computing

Abstract

The advent of cloud computing has dramatically altered how information is stored and retrieved. However, the effectiveness and speed of cloud-based applications can be significantly impacted by inefficiencies in the distribution of resources and task scheduling. Such issues have been challenging, but machine and deep learning methods have shown great potential in recent years. This paper suggests a new technique called Deep Q-Networks and Actor-Critic (DQNAC) models that enhance cloud computing efficiency by optimizing resource allocation and task scheduling. We evaluate our approach using a dataset of real-world cloud workload traces and demonstrate that it can significantly improve resource utilization and overall performance compared to traditional approaches. Furthermore, our findings indicate that deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based methods can be potent and effective for optimizing cloud computing, leading to improved cloud-based application efficiency and flexibility
