Harmonizing Security and Efficiency: Resource Management Strategies in Distributed Cloud Systems

Abstract

The advent of distributed cloud computing has revolutionized how resources are deployed and managed across geographically dispersed infrastructures. However, with this advancement comes a dual imperative—ensuring robust security while maintaining high levels of operational efficiency. Traditional resource management frameworks often treat security and performance as opposing forces, leading to trade-offs that may compromise one for the sake of the other. This paper explores integrated strategies for resource management that harmonize both dimensions in distributed cloud environments. By examining dynamic allocation models, trust-aware scheduling, policy-based orchestration, and real-time monitoring, the study proposes a unified approach that aligns security enforcement with efficient resource utilization. The result is a more resilient and agile distributed cloud infrastructure that can scale with demand while resisting internal and external threats.
