It is now considered as one of the rapidly developing platforms in the various fields related to computer science in one way or another. It is provided in a pay-per-use manner as per the demand of the consumer. Resource allocation in cloud computing is performed with the objective of minimizing the costs related with the management of resources at the provider side. It also involves fulfillment of customer demands and application requirements.
