Abstract: Cloud computing requires efficient resource allocation to ensure optimal utilization, performance, and cost reduction. Traditional methods are often insufficient to handle dynamic workloads. This paper presents a DRL approach using DQN to dynamically allocate cloud resources. A simulation environment models virtual machine provisioning and fluctuating workloads. The DQN agent learns resource allocation policies to maximize utilization and minimize operational cost and latency. Experimental results demonstrate improvements of 30% in CPU utilization, 40% reduction in latency, and 25% cost savings compared to static and threshold-based methods. The paper includes mathematical formulation, simulation data, and detailed analysis validating DRL’s effectiveness in cloud resource management.
