During his travel in USA, in Jun 2014, the researcher Antonio Cimmino (Zurich University of Applied Science, ICCLab) had the opportunity to visit the MIT SENSEable City Lab, in Cambridge Massachusetts USA, invited by the Director Dr. Carlo Ratti. The SENSEable City Lab is radically transforming the way the cities are described and understood; alongside […]

We are changing our ceilometer backend from mysql to mongodb in one of our experimental Openstack installations. The reason for this change is that mongo seems to deliver better ceilometer performance than mysql; further ceilometer data structures are a more natural fit with mongo (and indeed, this is largely where they came from). This can […]
In yesterday’s post, we gave an initial feeling of IEEE Cloud. This is a follow up which highlights some of the activity on July 1. Schlagwörter: conferences, IEEE, ieee cloud
This year was our first attendance at IEEE Cloud. We did not really know what to expect. This is the first of 2-3 posts which capture some of what went on at the conference. Schlagwörter: conferences, IEEE, ieee cloud
Introduction The Ceilometer project is a core OpenStack service that provide collection of metering data on managed virtual resources (e.g. compute, storage, networking). Before it was only possible to collect data from OpenStack virtual resources which are running upon an OpenStack deployment. The work presented hereafter addresses this issue outlines a means to monitor both virtual […]
From “Icehouse” release on Openstack has been added monitoring physical devices. At this moment available only one inspector – SNMP Inspector. IPMI Inspector will be add soon. Schlagwörter: Ceilometer, CodeContribution, openstack, Tutorial
In the past few months, the ICCLab has been developing a generic rating-charging-billing engine that would offer cloud service providers a modular framework that enables dynamic pricing activities and distributed design. The model closely follows the general accounting process, in the same time providing a lot of flexibility due to the loosely-coupled design. The platform […]
The release of Icehouse brought a few enhancements that were of particular interest in our work – notably Ceilometer/Telemetry developments both in terms of data models as well as performance and improved support for live VM migration. As we had a positive experience with installing Openstack using Mirantis Openstack 4.x (based on Fuel 4.x), we thought […]
ICCLab attended the OpenCloudDay in Bern en masse. Being one of the most known (infamous?) cloud computing groups in Switzerland, we had to show our strength at one of Switzerland’s most prestigious cloud events!
