Abstract:
Cloud users have recently expanded dramatically. The cloud service providers
(CSPs) have also increased and have therefore made their infrastructure more
complex. The complex infrastructure needs to be distributed appropriately to
various users. Also, the advances in cloud computing have led to the
development of interconnected cloud computing environments (ICCEs). For
instance, ICCEs include the cloud hybrid, intercloud, multi-cloud, and
federated clouds. However, the sharing of resources is not facilitated by
specific proprietary technologies and access interfaces used by CSPs. Several
CSPs provide similar services but have different access patterns. Data from
various CSPs must be obtained and processed by cloud users. To ensure that
all ICCE tenants (users and CSPs) benefit from the best CSPs, efficient
resource management was suggested. Besides, it is pertinent that cloud
resources be monitored regularly. Cloud monitoring is a service that works as
a third-party entity between customers and CSPs. This paper discusses a
complete cloud monitoring survey in ICCE, focusing on cloud monitoring and
its significance. Several current open-source monitoring solutions are
discussed. A taxonomy is presented and analyzed for cloud resource
management. This taxonomy includes resource pricing, assignment of
resources, exp
