Context. In recent years, the topic of deploying informational infrastructure in a multi-cloud environment has gained popularity. This is because a multi-cloud environment provides the ability to leverage the unique services of cloud providers without the need to deploy all infrastructure components inside them. Therefore, all available services across different cloud providers could be used to build up information infrastructure. Also, multi-cloud offers versatility in selecting different pricing policies for services across different cloud providers. However, as the number of available cloud service providers increases, the complexity of building a costoptimized deployment plan for informational infrastructure also increases.
Objective. The purpose of this paper is to optimize the operating costs of information infrastructure while leveraging the service prices of multiple cloud service providers.
Method. This article presents a novel cost optimization method for informational infrastructure deployment in a static multicloud environment whose goal is to minimize the hourly cost of infrastructure utilization. A genetic algorithm was used to solve this problem. Different penalty functions for the genetic algorithm were considered. Also, a novel parameter optimization method is proposed for selecting the parameters of the penalty function.
Results. A series of experiments were conducted to compare the results of different penalty functions. The results demonstrated that the penalty function with the proposed parameter selection method, in comparison to other penalty functions, on average found the best solution that was 8.933% better and took 18.6% less time to find such a solution. These results showed that the proposed parameter selection method allows for efficient exploration of both feasible and infeasible regions.
Conclusion. A novel cost optimization method for informational infrastructure deployment in a static multi-cloud environment is proposed. However, despite the effectiveness of the proposed method, it can be further improved. In particular, it is necessary to consider the possibility of involving scalable instances for informational infrastructure deployment.
