Cloud Computing is becoming a viable computing solution for services oriented
computing. Several open-source cloud solutions are available to these supports.
Open-source software stacks offer a huge amount of customizability without huge
licensing fees. As a result, open source software are widely used for designing
cloud, and private clouds are being built increasingly in the open source way.
Numerous contributions have been made by the open-source community related to
private-IaaS-cloud. OpenNebula - a cloud platform is one of the popular private
cloud management software. However, little has been done to systematically
investigate the performance evaluation of this open-source cloud solution in
the existing literature. The performance evaluation aids new and existing
research, industry and international projects when selecting OpenNebula
software to their work. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the
load-balancing performance of the OpenNebula cloud management software. For the
performance evaluation, the OpenNebula cloud management software is installed
and configured as a prototype implementation and tested on the DIU Cloud Lab.
In this paper, two set of experiments are conducted to identify the load
balancing performance of the OpenNebula cloud management platform- (1) Delete
and Add Virtual Machine (VM) from OpenNebula cloud platform; (2) Mapping
Physical Hosts to Virtual Machines (VMs) in the OpenNebula cloud platform.Comment: 6 page
