Abstract
Cloud computing promises the flexible delivery of computing services in a pay-as-you-go manner. It allows customers to easily scale their infrastructure and save on the overall cost of operation. However Cloud service offerings can only thrive if customers are satisfied with service performance. Allow-ing instantaneous access and flexible scaling while maintaining the service levels and offering competitive prices poses a significant challenge to Cloud Computing providers. Furthermore services will remain available in the long run only if this business generates a stable revenue stream. To address these challenges we introduce novel policy-based service admission control mod-els that aim at maximizing the revenue of Cloud providers while taking in-formational uncertainty regarding resource requirements into account. Our evaluation shows that policy-based approaches statistically significantly out-perform first come first serve approaches, which are still state of the art. Furthermore the results give insights in how and to what extent uncertainty has a negative impact on revenue.
