Tela: A Temporal Load-Aware Cloud Virtual Disk Placement Scheme

Cloud Block Storage (CBS) relies on Cloud Virtual Disks (CVDs) to provide block interfaces to Cloud Virtual Machines. The process of allocating user-subscribed CVDs to physical storage warehouses in cloud data centers, known as CVD placement, significantly impacts resource utilization, load balancing, and I/O performance. However, previous works have failed to account for temporal fluctuations in cloud loads, resulting in imbalanced loads, low resource utilization, and frequent warehouse overloads.
