Abstract: The Proliferation of on-demand usage-based IT services, as well as the diverse range of cloud users, have led to the establishment of energy-hungry hefty cloud data centers. Therefore, cloud service providers are striving to reduce energy consumption for cost-saving and environmental sustainability issues of data centers. In this direction, Virtual Machine (VM) consolidated is a widely used approach to optimize hardware resources at cost of performance degradation due to unnecessary migrations. Hence, the motivation of the proposed approach is to minimize energy consumption while maintaining the performance of cloud data centers. This leads to a reduction in the overall cost and an increase in the reliability of cloud service providers. To achieve this goal Predictive Virtual Machine Consolidation (PVMC) algorithm is proposed using the exponential smoothing moving average (ESMA) method. In the proposed algorithm, the ratio of deviation to utilization is calculated for VM selection and placement. migrating the high CPU using VMs or we can restrict steady resource-consuming VMs from migration. The outcomes of the proposed algorithm are validated on computer-based simulation under a dynamic workload and a variable number of VMs (1–290). The experimental results show an improvement in the mean threshing index (40%, 45%) and instruction energy ratio (15%, 17%) over the existing policies. Hence, the proposed algorithm could be used in real-world data centers for reducing energy consumption while maintaining low service level agreement violations.
