“…OpenStack is only one open source implementation of an IaaS cloud system, and other implementations like Eucalyptus [14] and OpenNebula [12] are quite similar in terms of architectural aspects [16]. Hence, our [3] generic approaches solving the HA questions, can be applied to them with small adaptions as well (see Section 5).…”

Abstract. These days Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds attract more and more customers for their flexibility and scalability. Even critical data and applications are considered for cloud deployments. However, this demands for resilient cloud infrastructures. Hence, this paper approaches adaptive and scalable high availability for IaaS clouds. First, we provide a detailed failure analysis of OpenStack showing the impact of failing services to the cloud infrastructure. Second, we analyse existing approaches for making OpenStack highly available, and pinpoint several weaknesses of current best practice. Finally, we propose and evaluate improvements to automate failover mechanisms.

“…Most IaaS cloud computing environments have a Cloud Controller such as Eucalyptus [7], OpenNebula [8] or OpenStack [9] to manage its resources, and they have similar architectures [9]. However, they don't suppose IaaS resources to be widely distributed.…”

SUMMARYOn the 11th of March, 2011, a massive earthquake hit the northeast region of Japan. The government of Japan needed to publish information regarding the earthquake and its influences. However, their capacity of Web services overflowed. They called the industry and academia for help for providing stable information service to the people. Industry and academia formed a team to answer the call and named themselves the "EQ project". This paper describes how the EQ Project was organized and operated, and gives analyses of the statistics. An academic organization took the lead in the EQ Project. Ten organizations which consisted of commercial IT industry and academics specialized in Internet technology, were participating in the EQ Project and they structured the three clusters based on their relationships and technological approach. In WIDE Cluster, one of three clusters in the structure of EQ, the peak number of file accesses per day was over 90 thousand, the mobile browsers was 3.4% and foreign languages (translated contents) were referred 35%. We have also discussed the future information distribution strategies in emergency situation based on the experiences of the EQ Project, and proposed nine suggestions to the MEXT as a future strategy. key words: governmental information in emergency

“…In [1,11,13], it is essentially an overview of the solutions Eucalyptus, Nimbusm OpenNebula and a presentation of their different characteristics. In [18,22], comparative studies of Eucalyptus, Nimbus and OpenNebula, including characteristics, architectures and applications are done in order to provide more freedom of choice for the users of the cloud. Concerning OpenStack, little work has addressed this solution [10].…”

Cloud computing is a quite new concept for which the resources are virtualized, dynamically extended and provided as a service on the Internet. In this paper, we present a comparative study between some of the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) commonly used to select the best suited one for deployment and research development in the field of cloud computing. The aim is to provide the computer industry with the opportunity to build a hosting architecture, massively scalable which is completely open source, while overcoming the constraints and the use of proprietary technologies. Then, we present the solution OpenStack retained by the comparative study. We discuss in detail its functional and architectural system. We finish by a discussion of the motivation of our choice of the IaaS solution. General Terms:OpenStack, IaaS
