Abstract:Given its intuitive nature, many Cloud providers opt for threshold-based data replication to enable automatic resource scaling. However, setting thresholds effectively needs human intervention to calibrate thresholds for each metric and requires a deep knowledge of current workload trends, which can be challenging to achieve. Reinforcement learning is used in many areas related to the Cloud Computing, and it is a promising field to get automatic data replication strategies. In this work, we survey data replication strategies and data scaling based on reinforcement learning (RL).
