Adaptive resource configuration for Cloud infrastructure management

► We apply knowledge management to guarantee SLAs and low resource wastage in Clouds. ► Escalation levels provide a hierarchical model to structure possible reconfiguration actions. ► Case-Based Reasoning and rule-based approach prove feasibility as KM techniques. ► In-depth evaluation of rule-based approach shows major improvements towards CBR. ► KM is applied to real-world data gathered from scientific bioinformatic workflows.
