Abstract(in English) By obtaining VMs (virtual machines) from InP (infrastructure provider) according to the demand in public cloud services, SPs (service providers) can elastically provide network services to users. As the charging methods, reserved instance (RI) and on-demand instance (ODI) are widely used. For InPs, RI is more desirable compared to ODI due to easiness of estimating future revenue, risk avoidance of occurring idle VM resources, and decrease of charging cost. In this paper, to improve the ratio of RIs in VMs provided by InP, we propose VM trading methods applying idle RIs of SPs, in which VM demand falls below the amount of obtained RIs, to SPs in which VM demand exceeds the amount of obtained RIs. As the VM trading mechanisms among SPs, we consider two approaches: RI with self-help effort (RISE) and RI with mutual aid (RIMA). Through numerical evaluation using commercial VoD service, we show that the number of VMs provided by InP decreases by about 50 to 100%, and the ratio of RIs decreases by about 10 to 70% by using the proposed VM trading methods.
