An unsupervised approach to online noisy-neighbor detection in cloud data centers

作者:

Highlights:

• An unsupervised, online detection algorithm for the noisy neighbor effect.

• It occurs when Virtual Machines compete for the same physical resources.

• Based on Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Models for modeling resource usage.

• Using statistical distances (Kullback–Leibler) to measure similarity between DPGMMs.

• An anomaly is a higher difference between short-term models vs long-term ones.
