Abstract: In view of the migration characteristics of virtual machines in cloud service systems, an M/M/m(t) system model with variable number of servers is proposed. A two-dimensional Markovian chain based on the queuing length process of sub-tasks and the number changing process of virtual machines is established. The steady-state distribution of the process and the steady-state performance index of the system are obtained by using matrix geometric theory. Considering the service level agreement, an approximate lower bound of the average number of virtual machines that the system should open is given, and the effects of different parameters on the queuing index and the number of virtual machines in on-state are analyzed.

Key words: Markovian chain, variable number of servers, migration of virtual machines, service level agreement
