Cloudbus Toolkit for Market-Oriented Cloud Computing

Abstract

Abstract. This keynote paper: (1) presents the 21st century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver computing as a utility; (2) defines the architecture for creating market-oriented Clouds and computing atmosphere by leveraging technologies such as virtual machines; (3) provides thoughts on market-based resource management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service management and computational risk management to sustain SLA-oriented resource allocation; (4) presents the work carried out as part of our new Cloud Computing initiative, called Cloudbus: (i) Aneka, a Platform as a Service software system containing SDK (Software Development Kit) for construction of Cloud applications and deployment on private or public Clouds, in addition to supporting market-oriented resource management; (ii) internetworking of Clouds for dynamic creation of federated computing environments for scaling of elastic applications; (iii) creation of 3 rd party Cloud brokering services for building content delivery networks and e-Science applications and their deployment on capabilities of IaaS providers such as Amazon along with Grid mashups; (iv) CloudSim supporting modelling and simulation of Clouds for performance studies; (v) Energy Efficient Resource Allocation Mechanisms and Techniques for creation and management of Green Clouds; and (vi) pathways for future research.

A Unified Architecture for Optimal Resource Utilization in a Heterogeneous Cloud Environment

“…Having studied and knowing the growing demand for computing, Rajkumar Buyya et al [23] defined architecture for creating market-oriented clouds and computing atmosphere by leveraging technologies such as virtual machines. This architecture has the provision of market-based resource management strategies for SLA-oriented resource allocation.…”

A Simplified Particle Swarm Optimization for Job Scheduling in Cloud Computing

“…Cloud computing has gained its popularity due to its ability to facilitate the provision and use of IT infrastructure, platforms, and applications of any kind in the form of services that are electronically available on the Web. Its services are targeted to the mass, ranging from the end consumers hosting their own documents on the internet to enterprises outsourcing their whole IT infrastructure to external data centers [6]. In other words, cloud computing can serve multiple sectors effectively.…”

“…Firstly, it provides great business models for small computational science and engineering research groups because these groups often do not have enough human resources and knowledge to deal with the complexity of computational and data infrastructure for their research [7]. Secondly, it offers significant benefit to IT organizations by freeing them from the low-level tasks of setting up and maintaining basic hardware and software infrastructures and thus enabling them to focus on innovation and creating business value for their services [6]. Thirdly, it offers an exciting opportunity for end users by enabling them to utilize a variety of devices, including PCs, laptops, smartphones, and PDAs to access their personal data, programs, storage, and application-development platforms over the internet, via on-demand services offered by cloud providers.…”

Unstructured P2P-Enabled Service Discovery in the Cloud Environment

“…Typically, Cloud computing comes in three kinds: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) [2]. The classification emphasizes the core concept of "X as a Service", that is, software, platform, and infrastructure all can be provided to end users on demand and on a subscription basis.…”
