On the Performance Variability of Production Cloud Services

Abstract: Abstract-Cloud computing is an emerging infrastructure paradigm that promises to eliminate the need for companies to maintain expensive computing hardware. Through the use of virtualization and resource time-sharing, clouds address with a single set of physical resources a large user base with diverse needs. Thus, clouds have the potential to provide their owners the benefits of an economy of scale and, at the same time, become an alternative for both the industry and the scientific community to self-owned clu… Show more

“…A big variance in node creation times leads to a higher potential speed gain. Our experimental results show that there is indeed a substantial difference between node creation times, and this is supported by other experiments [16]. Also, a large difference between average software deployment times is beneficial, e.g., the installation of software A needs to take much more or much less time, on average, than that of software B.…”

“…Others have also studied the performance of public cloud services, focusing on the startup time of VMs [15], tracking performance of several operations within a cloud environment [16], or on the prediction of application performance [17]. This paper adds the metrics of individual deployment steps, such as the installation, configuration and starting of software.…”

“…The effect of these factors of uncertainty and instability is not negligible and has been repeatedly observed to strongly influence the runtime of a given application on commercial clouds such as Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) (e.g., [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]). …”

“…Ours takes costs into account and evaluates the trade-off, while theirs links scalability to security concerns. In a similar vein, [7] focusses on performance. These works consider earlier pre-cloud investigations as in [9] or [10].…”
