Cloud computing is a large distributed computing environment in which collection of resources is available to user through internet. It helps the consumers to reduce the cost of information management as they are not required to own their servers and can use capacity leased from cloud service providers. At present, cloud service providers provide two provisioning plans for computing resources namely reservation and on-demand plans. The main goal of this research work is to minimize the total cost of resource provisioning by reducing the on-demand cost and oversubscribed cost of under provisioning and over provisioning The proposed solution for minimizing the total cost of resource provisioning is implemented in a cloud that provides storage and encryption services
