[2]Auto-scaling of VM and VM-to-PM packing.Approach based on shadow routing.Less no. of hosting PMs by intelligently packing VMs-into-PM.There is a chance of congestion when PM is fully packed. Due to congestion there will be more delay.

[3]Balance the load of network resources.Layered virtual machine migration.Effective management of the physical and network resources and high performance in balancing the bandwidth utilization rate of hosts.The migration cost is high.

[4]Minimize resource consumption and dynamic traffic.Cluster-aware VM collaborative migration scheme for media cloud.An ideal migration by using clustering algorithm and placement algorithm and effective migration of VM media servers.The proposed scheme does not optimize the VM migration in media cloud. Migration cost is very high.

[5]Reduce energy consumption with great migration cost.An improved grouping genetic algorithm (IGGA).Optimizes the consolidation score and reduces energy consumption with high consolidation score.The migration cost is still high because of migration of one VM at a time.

[6]Minimize energy consumption and great migration cost.Ant colony system (ACO).Minimizes energy consumption by decreasing number of active PMs and ensures the SLA based on quality of services requirement.The migration cost is still high because of migrating of one VM at a time.

[7]Lessen energy consumption and great migration cost.Firefly optimization approach.Energy-aware VM migration technique for cloud computing and migrates the overloaded VMs to the normal PMs.The load on cloud data center is still there because by migration we can only achieve high utilization rate of network resources.
