MCRL2: Multi-resource Cross-attention-based Representation Learning-augmented Reinforcement Learning for Cloud Microservice Scheduling

MCRL2 is a reinforcement learning framework that enhances microservice scheduling in cloud data centers by integrating multi-resource cross-attention-based representation learning. It introduces MCRL, a representation learning component that captures structured interactions among nodes, resources, and microservices, and couples this with an actor‑critic architecture and a maximum entropy objective. Experiments on real production cluster traces show that MCRL2 outperforms existing baselines in load balancing, scheduling success rate, and average completion time across diverse workloads.

A Two-Stage Forecasting System for CPU Workload Prediction in Private Clouds

A two-stage forecasting system is introduced for predicting CPU workload in private clouds. The model first forecasts customer service requests in Transactions Per Second (TPS) and then estimates future CPU usage from the TPS forecast, both stages using XGBoost within a cascaded architecture. Experiments on real private‑cloud traces show SMAPE below 7% for most applications, with the best case achieving an MAE of 0.7372 and an R² of 0.9185, and stable error accumulation over a 60‑step horizon.
