Abstract: Paper Several Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) techniques for Cloud resources management are considered by many researchers. ACO techniques in existence still need some improvements for effective resource management and planning with the heterogeneous and voluminous services offered. Hence, an optimized hybrid scheme that combined deterministic characteristics for exploiting ACO search process is proposed. Spanning Tree (ST) algorithm was chosen in the hybridization that obtained a faster convergence speed, minimized makespan time and throughput that ensured resource utilization in least time and cost. Extensive experiments were conducted in cloudsim simulator provided an efficient result compared to other ACO techniques as it significantly improves performance.
