Server Structure Proposal and Automatic Verification Technology on IaaS Cloud of Plural Type Servers
In this paper, we propose a server structure proposal and automatic
performance verification technology which proposes and verifies an appropriate
server structure on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud with baremetal
servers, container based virtual servers and virtual machines. Recently, cloud
services have been progressed and providers provide not only virtual machines
but also baremetal servers and container based virtual servers. However, users
need to design an appropriate server structure for their requirements based on
3 types quantitative performances and users need much technical knowledge to
optimize their system performances. Therefore, we study a technology which
satisfies users' performance requirements on these 3 types IaaS cloud. Firstly,
we measure performances of a baremetal server, Docker containers, KVM (Kernel
based Virtual Machine) virtual machines on OpenStack with virtual server number
changing. Secondly, we propose a server structure proposal technology based on
the measured quantitative data. A server structure proposal technology receives
an abstract template of OpenStack Heat and function/performance requirements
and then creates a concrete template with server specification information.
Thirdly, we propose an automatic performance verification technology which
executes necessary performance tests automatically on provisioned user
environments according to the template.Comment: Evaluations of server structure proposal were insufficient in section
Performance-oriented Cloud Provisioning: Taxonomy and Survey
Cloud computing is being viewed as the technology of today and the future.
Through this paradigm, the customers gain access to shared computing resources
located in remote data centers that are hosted by cloud providers (CP). This
technology allows for provisioning of various resources such as virtual
machines (VM), physical machines, processors, memory, network, storage and
software as per the needs of customers. Application providers (AP), who are
customers of the CP, deploy applications on the cloud infrastructure and then
these applications are used by the end-users. To meet the fluctuating
application workload demands, dynamic provisioning is essential and this
article provides a detailed literature survey of dynamic provisioning within
cloud systems with focus on application performance. The well-known types of
provisioning and the associated problems are clearly and pictorially explained
and the provisioning terminology is clarified. A very detailed and general
cloud provisioning classification is presented, which views provisioning from
different perspectives, aiding in understanding the process inside-out. Cloud
dynamic provisioning is explained by considering resources, stakeholders,
techniques, technologies, algorithms, problems, goals and more.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, 3 table
Component-wise application migration in bidimensional cross-cloud environments
We propose an algorithm for the migration of cloud applications' components between different providers, possibly changing their service level between IaaS and PaaS. Our solution relies on three of the key ingredients of the trans-cloud approach: a unified API, agnostic topology descriptions, and mechanisms for the independent specification of providers. We show how our
approach allows us to overcome some of the current interoperability and portability issues of cloud environments to propose a solution for migration,
present an implementation of our proposed solution, and illustrate it with a case study and experimental results.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
