This study addresses the challenge of resource scheduling optimization in edge-cloud collaborative computing using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The proposed DRL-based approach improves task processing efficiency, reduces overall processing time, enhances resource utilization, and effectively controls task migrations. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of DRL over traditional scheduling algorithms, particularly in managing complex task allocation, dynamic workloads, and multiple resource constraints. Despite its advantages, further improvements are needed to enhance learning efficiency, reduce training time, and address convergence issues. Future research should focus on increasing the algorithm's fault tolerance to handle more complex and uncertain scheduling scenarios, thereby advancing the intelligence and efficiency of edge-cloud computing systems.

Cloud computing environments are increasingly vulnerable to security threats such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and SQL injection. Traditional security mechanisms, based on rule matching and feature recognition, struggle to adapt to evolving attack strategies. This paper proposes an adaptive security protection framework leveraging deep learning to construct a multi-layered defense architecture. The proposed system is evaluated in a real-world business environment, achieving a detection accuracy of 97.3%, an average response time of 18 ms, and an availability rate of 99.999%. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances detection accuracy, response efficiency, and resource utilization, offering a novel and effective approach to cloud computing security.

With the rapid expansion of cloud computing applications, optimizing resource allocation has become crucial for improving system performance and cost efficiency. This paper proposes an intelligent resource allocation algorithm that leverages deep learning (LSTM) for demand prediction and reinforcement learning (DQN) for dynamic scheduling. By accurately forecasting computing resource demands and enabling real-time adjustments, the proposed system enhances resource utilization by 32.5%, reduces average response time by 43.3%, and lowers operational costs by 26.6%. Experimental results in a production cloud environment confirm that the method significantly improves efficiency while maintaining high service quality. This study provides a scalable and effective solution for intelligent cloud resource management, offering valuable insights for future cloud optimization strategies.
