Topology-Aware Graph Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Routing in Cloud Networks

This paper proposes a topology-aware graph reinforcement learning approach to address the routing policy optimization problem in cloud server environments. The method builds a unified framework for state representation and structural evolution by integrating a Structure-Aware State Encoding (SASE) module and a Policy-Adaptive Graph Update (PAGU) mechanism. It aims to tackle the challenges of decision instability and insufficient structural awareness under dynamic topologies. The SASE module models node states through multi-layer graph convolution and structural positional embeddings, capturing high-order dependencies in the communication topology and enhancing the expressiveness of state representations. The PAGU module adjusts the graph structure based on policy behavior shifts and reward feedback, enabling adaptive structural updates in dynamic environments. Experiments are conducted on the real-world GEANT topology dataset, where the model is systematically evaluated against several representative baselines in terms of throughput, latency control, and link balance. Additional experiments, including hyperparameter sensitivity, graph sparsity perturbation, and node feature dimensionality variation, further explore the impact of structure modeling and graph updates on model stability and decision quality. Results show that the proposed method outperforms existing graph reinforcement learning models across multiple performance metrics, achieving efficient and robust routing in dynamic and complex cloud networks.

Federated Anomaly Detection for Multi-Tenant Cloud Platforms with Personalized Modeling

This paper proposes an anomaly detection method based on federated learning to address key challenges in multi-tenant cloud environments, including data privacy leakage, heterogeneous resource behavior, and the limitations of centralized modeling. The method establishes a federated training framework involving multiple tenants. Each tenant trains the model locally using private resource usage data. Through parameter aggregation, a global model is optimized, enabling cross-tenant collaborative anomaly detection while preserving data privacy. To improve adaptability to diverse resource usage patterns, a personalized parameter adjustment mechanism is introduced. This allows the model to retain tenant-specific feature representations while sharing global knowledge. In the model output stage, the Mahalanobis distance is used to compute anomaly scores. This enhances both the accuracy and stability of anomaly detection. The experiments use real telemetry data from a cloud platform to construct a simulated multi-tenant environment. The study evaluates the model's performance under varying participation rates and noise injection levels. These comparisons demonstrate the proposed method's robustness and detection accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing mainstream models across key metrics such as Precision, Recall, and F1-Score. It also maintains stable performance in various complex scenarios. These findings highlight the method's practical potential for intelligent resource monitoring and anomaly diagnosis in cloud computing environments.
