Abstract
Cloud computing is a rapidly growing technology adopted by many companies around the globe. This growth led to huge competition in the business among the cloud providers. Cloud Providers are continuously striving to provide better cloud services to cloud consumers at reasonable cost. Virtualization is the key driver which helps in the optimal usage of cloud resources of datacenters. The virtual machines or instances running on hypervisors should be optimally distributed in the datacenters to provide better performance to the cloud consumers. For optimal placement of instances, a good scheduling algorithm needs to be selected. The scheduling algorithm available considers compute, storage and memory utilization while placing the instances on servers in the datacenter. But as network is a strong pillar in any technology, it should be a compulsory factor in the scheduling algorithms. The proposal of this scheduling algorithm is to include network factors into consideration. OpenStack which is a cloud Software has been used to demonstrate this proposal. OpenStack's Nova scheduler includes only compute and storage filters in its filter scheduler. Network filter is added for optimal placement of instances.
