A Survey on Automatic Fault Detection Framework for Cloud based Application

Abstract: Cloud computing becoming an emerging and important platform for web service applications. In modern era Cloud Computing has its own challenges. Sometimes its the fluctuating workload which presses the application to different and unexpected condition. Also the behavior of the cloud hosted application makes it difficult to understand the root cause of failures which results in loss of time and money. Even if the risks are known, it becomes very difficult for the manual operators to resolve them, as an application could go down if things are not done properly. For addressing these issues, this paper proposes an automatic failure detection framework for the cloud based applications. In particular, we introduce an clustering method that captures workload fluctuation and model the correlation between the workloads and application performance.
