Project Clearwater is an open source implementation of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) developed for scalable deployment in the cloud to provide voice, video and messaging services. There has been work done before on orchestrating Clearwater in OpenStack using Cloudify. We, in cooperation with our partner – Citrix, present orchestration of this system in Apache CloudStack […]
This blog post presents a plugin for OpenStack Heat which adds support for Apache CloudStack resources and thus enables a template-based orchestration on CloudStack using Heat. As this plugin extends the standard Heat’s resource type list it can also be used within our Hurtle orchestrator for providing your application as a service or any other […]
We needed to deploy a simple hypervisor on one of our internal systems. This system was disconnected from the Internet for some particular reasons and it was surprisingly difficult to find a suitable bundled linux distribution which provided the features we needed. Ubuntu desktop does not come with KVM, ubuntu server does not have X, […]

On November 4th 2015 Konstantin Benz, researcher at ICCLab, presented an adaptive cloud application in the “Complex Adaptive Systems” conference in San Jose, California. “Complex Adaptive Systems” is a conference organized by Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST) which takes place every year and which includes topics like machine learning, data analytics and smart […]
We had to investigate the operation of one of our Openstack compute nodes as it was exhibiting some unusual behaviour. We quickly determined that there was some unexpected packet loss and we had reason to believe that this could have been due to the packet processing in the node. Investigating this problem necessitated some deeper exploration […]
In the context of the Cloud-Native Applications (CNA) Initiative at SPLab, we kicked off a few months ago a seed project with the aim of getting practical experience of the most common problems and pitfalls of re-architecting a legacy web application for the cloud. Here, we report on our experiences with a specific focus on […]
