Content Placement (CP) problem in Cloud based Content Delivery Networks (CCDNs) leverage resource elasticity to build cost effective CDNs that guarantee QoS. In this paper, we present our novel CP model, which optimally places content on surrogates in the cloud, to achieve (a) minimum cost of leasing storage and bandwidth resources for data coming into and going out of the cloud zones and regions, (b) guarantee Service Level Agreement (SLA), and (c) minimize degree of QoS violations. The CP problem is NP Hard, hence we design a unique push based heuristic, called Weighted Social Network Analysis (W SNA) for CCDN providers. W-SNA is based on Betweeness Centrality (BC) from SNA and prioritizes surrogates based on their relationship to the other vertices in the network graph. To achieve our unique objectives, we further prioritize surrogates based on weights derived from storage cost and …
