Abstract:
Cloud computing paradigm provides virtualized computing resources as a service on demand. This paradigm allows companies focus on their business issues rather than conceiving and managing complex infrastructures. As a consequence, performance evaluation of cloud computing infrastructures has been receiving considerable attention by service providers as a prominent activity for improving service quality infrastructure planning, and selection of software platforms (e.g., Eucalyptus). This paper presents the performance evaluation of virtual machines on Eucalyptus platform considering different workloads. This study provides insights about Eucalyptus system infrastructure suitability for applications with high processing and storage performance requirements. This work provided the evaluation of virtual machine instances types from a private cloud, which was configured with Eucalyptus platform.
