Cloud-based resource allocation and VM/container orchestration play a crucial role in ensuring performance, scalability, and energy efficiency in modern distributed computing environments. This study investigates the effectiveness of centralized and decentralized scheduling models combined with heuristic and optimization-based allocation strategies in container-based cloud infrastructures. A quantitative experimental approach was employed to evaluate system performance under varying workload intensities. Key evaluation metrics included response time, throughput, resource utilization, SLA violation rate, and energy consumption. The experimental results indicate that centralized scheduling mechanisms experience scalability limitations and increased latency under high workload conditions. Although optimization-based allocation improves performance within centralized architectures, coordination bottlenecks remain significant. In contrast, decentralized scheduling models demonstrate superior adaptability, reduced response time, and improved throughput due to distributed decision-making and reduced control overhead. The integration of intelligent optimization techniques further enhances resource utilization and energy efficiency, achieving the lowest SLA violation rates and highest system stability. Overall, the findings confirm that combining decentralized scheduling with optimization-driven resource allocation provides a more scalable and sustainable orchestration strategy for modern cloud environments. This approach is particularly suitable for dynamic, large-scale, and latency-sensitive applications in container-based and edge-integrated cloud systems.

The rapid growth of big data has significantly increased the demand for efficient and scalable data processing methods, particularly within cloud computing environments. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of distributed computing frameworks, specifically Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark, in optimizing big data processing. A qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method is employed to analyze existing studies related to distributed systems, cloud computing architectures, and performance optimization techniques. The analysis focuses on key performance indicators, including processing speed, resource utilization, and scalability, as well as the suitability of each framework for different data processing scenarios. The findings indicate that Apache Hadoop is highly effective for batch processing and storage-intensive tasks due to its disk-based architecture, while Apache Spark demonstrates superior performance in real-time and iterative processing through its in-memory computing capabilities. Additionally, system configuration factors such as cluster size, memory allocation, and network bandwidth are identified as critical elements influencing overall performance. The study also highlights emerging trends, including the adoption of hybrid cloud environments, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the utilization of edge computing to enhance real-time data processing. In conclusion, distributed computing frameworks play a vital role in improving the efficiency and scalability of big data processing in cloud environments. The selection of an appropriate framework, combined with optimized system configuration, can significantly enhance operational performance and support data-driven decision-making.

Collaborative filtering systems rely heavily on matrix factorization techniques, which often face scalability issues when handling large datasets. This paper presents an efficient parallel algorithm that leverages distributed computing to perform largescale matrix factorization. Experimental results show that our algorithm significantly reduces computation time while maintaining high accuracy. The approach has practical implications for recommendation systems, particularly in ecommerce and social media platforms.
