Optimization of cloud computing usage cost through artificial Intelligence Techniques

Cloud computing allows consumers to reduce the costs associated with the purchase and maintenance of computing infrastructure, platform and software resources by exploiting on-demand resource provisioning and pay-per-use payment models. Although, cloud computing has offered significant benefits to the IT indistry, the research on cloud computing is currently at its infancy, with many issues still to be addressed. In this project, we will investigate current OpenStack based cloud computing services and state-of -the-art Artificial Intelligence and search-based techniques to research and develop an analytical engine, based on our previous work, for improving cost efficiencies and optimizations in cloud resource consumption. A full analysis will be conducted on applying Artificial Intelligence and search-based techniques on cloud computing platform and infrastructure in enterprise IT and the impact of business units within the organization. Recommendations for appropriate enterprise sofware license selection in combination with underlying cloud compute infrastructure, flagging high cloud data transfer…
