Abstract:
Cloud computing has gained more attention and emerged as a significant model for provisioning resources to the business industries. Maximizing profit and revenue from unused resources are the most trending goals of any cloud service provider. Amazon web services offer spot instances at very substantial down prices. The instances are offered through a bidding mechanism. One of the challenging tasks is to predict the spot price because spot users always want to make cost-effective decisions. Amazon provides the past 90 days of pricing history to assist its users in making bidding decisions. Accurate prediction reduces the risk of overbidding and out-of bid failure situations. In this paper, a 2-layer stacked LSTM model is used as a learning model for prediction purpose. We explore here the use of stacking the LSTM for time series prediction. The model is implemented using Keras and tested using the Amazon spot pricing dataset. Our results show that our stacked LSTM model provides better accuracy for next day spot price prediction.

I. Introduction

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability (accessibility) of resources. These resources include data storage and computing capabilities without being directly managed by active users [1]. It is an internet-based service where users first save data files to the cloud before making any computing decisions. Cloud computing help users in providing the ability to work remotely having an internet connection active. The use of cloud computing allows users, organizations to use and share capacity and storage resources in public and private cloud type networks. Cloud computing is a rapidly growing market where cloud service providers face difficulty in providing its resources to the cloud user. Amazon in 2006 started offering its IT services known as Amazon Web Services. AWS cloud is an infrastructure as a service offering secure and elastic data storage and computing capacities. 3 kinds of instances are provided by amazon namely
