It is a big challenge to fulfill the on demand services in cloud maintaining the SLA and some times migration of cloud is required to fulfill the on demand services in cloud. But migration of cloud is not a cost effective solution so we will use prediction algorithm for the virtual machine allocation which saves energy and is cost effective.

INTRODUCTION Cloud is a pool of resource from where you can access various services on the basis of pay as per you use. It provides on demand services fulfilling the SLA. 1) Public Cloud: A cloud is called a "public cloud" when the services are rendered over a network that is open for public use[1]. 2) Private Cloud: Private cloud is cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party, and hosted either internally or externally [1]. 3) Community Cloud: Community cloud shares infrastructure between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third-party, and either hosted internally or externally [1]. 4) Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remain distinct entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment model ’s [1]. There are 3 types of services that cloud provides. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS): Each and every cloud has finite resources and when it’s get overloaded and if asked for extra resources by the customer then it’s not possible for cloud provider to fulfill the request and leads to Service Level Agreement (SLAs) violation. This can be solved by federated cloud. Here more than one cloud provider co-ordinates with each other to share resources with each other, by renting their unused resources and the provider which use that resources pay on the basis of usage. Migration is also one of the solution but our aim is to save the energy hence we avoid such solution.
