Key features of cloud computing include elasticity, on-demand self-service, broad network access, and resource pooling, which enable clouds to provide cost-effective services to myriads of variety of users around the world. To offer centralized services in such multi-tenanted clouds, performance is the most important issue that needs to be addressed. In addition to employing high computing power multi-processors, virtualization is a key technology in building high performance cloud infrastructure. Virtualization technology consolidates multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single underlying physical machine via virtual machine monitor (VMM). In such virtualized computing environments, key challenges include: i) keeping performance isolation among VMs to enable cloud service providers to offer quality of service guarantee to the users, ii) developing optimal VM consolidation schemes that minimize the usage of CPU, storage, and network resources, and iii)  tackling the vulnerabilities introduced by virtualization. To address these challenging issues, in this talk, we focus our discussion on the technologies of VM consolidation, performance isolation, and vCPU scheduling.
