OpenStack: Toward an Open-source Solution for Cloud Computing

Abstract

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

Cyber Infrastructure as a Service to Empower Multidisciplinary, Data-Driven Scientific Research

“…Security was enhanced with kernel hardening [7].The distribution already saw an average of 2% performance gain with compiler flags tuning only. Introducing faster libraries had another huge impacts on application performance; we noticed up to 36X speedup on matrix operations when choosing Open BLAS [8]over net lib [9]. However, deployment of the new distribution on physical computing nodes met some practical problems.…”

Teaching Data Science and Cloud Computing in Low and Middle Income Countries

“…For comparison, a similar short-course was presented at the Nottingham UK, Sutton Bonington Campus (UoN-SB: 2010-2014) and equivalent transcriptomics practicals were delivered at Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China (HAU: 2014). Student numbers in Nottingham and Wuhan were high (50+) and in Namibia and Malaysia were half the size of the CCC courses [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Many of the experiences were analogous to those experienced in CCC but a few differences may be instructive.…”

“…A run through using a cloud platform Likewise, the cloud platform used should be based on open source middleware such as OpenStack [20].…”

Research on Self-Configuration Technology for Survivability Enhancement Based on SDN

“…Cloud service network deployment is a system engineering, and the administrator can contract with the cloud service management platform directly, which is also known as cloud computing platform, such as OpenStack [5] and CloudStack or private platforms designed by cloud service providers. The cloud computing platform is responsible for the management of a variety of resources, including computing resources, storage resources, network resources, etc.…”
