Abstract

Cloud computing promises unlimited elasticity and allows Cloud applications to scale or change the configuration in response to demand. To automate the application management one must capture the goals and preferences of the application owner, and the most flexible way to represent these is as a utility function. However, it is often difficult for the application owner to define a such mathematical function. Therefore, we propose the Utility Function Creator, a software component that can create the utility function for Cloud application optimization based on a set of predefined utility function policies as well as by template utility function shapes.
