Abstract
Cloud computing has emerged as an efficient distribution platform in modern distributed computing offering scalability and flexibility. Task scheduling is considered as one of the main crucial aspects of cloud computing. The primary purpose of the task scheduling mechanism is to reduce the cost and makespan and determine which virtual machine (VM) needs to be selected to execute the task. It is widely acknowledged as a nondeterministic polynomial-time complete problem, necessitating the development of an efficient solution. This paper presents an innovative approach to task scheduling and allocation within cloud computing systems. Our focus lies on improving both the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of task execution, with a specific emphasis on optimizing makespan and resource utilization. This is achieved through the introduction of an Advanced Max–Min Algorithm, which builds upon traditional methodologies to significantly enhance performance metrics such as makespan, waiting time, and resource utilization. The selection of the Max–Min algorithm is rooted in its ability to strike a balance between task execution time and resource utilization, making it a suitable candidate for addressing the challenges of cloud task scheduling. Furthermore, a key contribution of this work is the integration of a cost-aware algorithm into the scheduling framework. This algorithm enables the effective management of task execution costs, ensuring alignment with user requirements while operating within the constraints of cloud service providers. The proposed method adjusts task allocation based on cost considerations dynamically. Additionally, the presented approach enhances the overall economic efficiency of cloud computing deployments. The findings demonstrate that the proposed Advanced Max–Min Algorithm outperforms the traditional Max–Min, Min–Min, and SJF algorithms with respect to makespan, waiting time, and resource utilization.
