Abstract

Cloud computing provides a wide variety of services, from small to big businesses, to individual consumers. Cloud computing's features entice users to migrate their operations from traditional platforms to cloud platforms. In comparison to traditional systems, cloud computing has an extremely powerful processing capacity. Requests for resources are considered tasks in the cloud, and appropriate resources are allocated depending on user needs. However, owing to high demand and volume of requests, cloud struggles to allocate resources. Task schedulers are employed in cloud computing to address these issues. Various task scheduling methods have been presented in several research publications, and the quest for a better scheduling model continues. In this paper, a task scheduling method based on a hybrid optimization algorithm is presented, which effectively schedules jobs with the least amount of waiting time. In addition to these, other parameters, such as the overall production time, execution time, waiting time, efficiency, and utilization are included in this study. The simulation results show that the proposed scheduling method is superior to conventional Ant Colony and Particle Swarm Optimization-based scheduling algorithms in terms of performance.
