Two upcoming publications accepted at 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2015)

Researchers from the Service Prototyping Lab have found new methods to tame and control cloud infrastructure and platform services which, despite the best intentions by the providers, are often volatile, unavailable or unreliable. With the new methods, applications remain mostly unaffected from the problems. Two publications about the methods will be presented at the upcoming […]

Experimental evaluation of post-copy live migration in OpenStack using 10Gb/s interfaces

Up to now, we have published several blog posts focusing on the live migration performance in our experimental Openstack deployment – performance analysis of post-copy live migration in Openstack and an analysis of the performance of live migration in Openstack. While we analyzed the live migration behaviour using different live migration algorithms (read our previous blog posts regarding pre-copy […]





A Design Draft for Tenant Isolation without Tunneling in Openstack

The Problem Cloud networking bases on tech and protocols that were not initially designed for it. This has lead to unnecessary overhead and complexity in all phases of a cloud service. Tunneling protocols generate inherent cascading and encapsulation especially in multi tenant systems. The problem increases by vendor specific configuration requirements and heterogenous architectures. This complexity […]
