Given the dynamic, heterogeneous, and large-scale nature of cloud environments, task scheduling is a complex and NP-hard problem.This field has evolved from classical heuristics (e.g., FCFS, Min-Min) to advanced techniques such as metaheuristics (e.g., Genetic Algorithms, PSO, ACO) and AI-driven approaches like reinforcement learning and deep learning. Real-world frameworks like Hadoop YARN, Kubernetes, and CloudSim implement these strategies to manage workloads effectively.Modern cloud scheduling emphasizes multi-objective optimization, balancing trade-offs between speed, cost, energy consumption, and fairness. Emerging trends include edge computing, serverless scheduling, and green computing, positioning task scheduling as a foundational challenge for the future of cloud services.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401179320471,"sku":"9786208848057","price":4904.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786208848057.webp?v=1769055653","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cloud-task-scheduling-9786208848057","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
