ABSTRACT={In cloud computing management, the dynamic adaptation of computing resource allocations under timevarying workload is an active domain of investigation. Several control strategies were already proposed. Here the modelfree control setting and the corresponding “intelligent” controllers, which are most successful in many concrete engineering situations, are employed for the “horizontal elasticity.” When compared to the commercial “Auto-Scaling” algorithms, our easily implementable approach, behaves better even with sharp workload fluctuations. This is confirmed by experiments
on Amazon Web Services (AWS).}}
