For this assignment, the article “QoS-Aware Autonomic Resource Management in Cloud Computing: A Systematic Review. ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR)” was analyzed over the other articles as it provides a systematic review on autonomic resource management in Cloud computing, an important topic in cloud computing architecture. While the other articles evaluate significant cloud-architecture challenges such as Implementation of the Linux ARM Hypervisor or the use of modern hypervisors in HPC applications, the allocation resources in the cloud environment is a significant challenge, an aspect that is yet to be addressed by the existing frameworks and resource management techniques. Thus, the article was prioritized due to its extensive review of an important topic in cloud architecture that has received little attention in the past.
