on management of virtualized resources. Accordingly, virtual machine placement and migration are
crucial to achieve multiple and conflicting goals. Regarding the complexity of these tasks and plethora
of existing proposals, this work surveys the state-of-the-art in the area. It presents a cloud computing
background, a review of several proposals, a discussion of problem formulations, advantages and shortcomings
of reviewed works. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges for new solutions and provides
several open issues, showing the relevancy of the topic in an increasing and demanding market.
