  1. VICCI: Programmable Cloud Computing Research Testbed Andy Bavier Princeton University November 3, 2011

  2. VICCI Overview • Support research in: • Design, provisioning, and management of a global, multi-datacenter infrastructure (the Cloud) • Design and deployment of large-scale distributed services in a Cloud environment • Compute clusters and networking hardware • Bootstrapped using MyPLCsoftware • Project begun late 2010 GEC12

  3. Enabling Research • A realistic environment for deployment studies • Building block services • Replication, consistency, fault-tolerance, scalable performance, object location, migration • New Cloud programming models • Targeted application domains, e.g., virtual worlds or managing personal data • Cross-cutting foundational issues • Managing the network within/between data centers • Trusted cloud platform to ensure confidentiality GEC12

  4. Building Block Services • Harmony • Consistent DHT for Cloud applications • Syndicate • Global, content-oriented filesystem • CRAQ • Key-value store with linearalizable operations • Prophecy • Byzantine fault-tolerant replicated state machines • Serval • Dynamic service-centric network routing GEC12

  5. Cloud Programming Models • Virtual Worlds • Issues: federation, expansibility, scalability, migration, security • Cooperative but not necessarily collaborative • Application: Meru • Rhizoma • A Cloud for personal applications • Issues: resource acquisition, maintaining inter-device connectivity GEC12

  6. Cross-Cutting Issues • Tolerating and detecting faults • Zeno: BFT protocol with high availability • Accountable virtual machines • Networking issues • Simple datacenter networks with static multipath routing • Multipath routing to improve reliability and load balance • Peering on demand • Trusted Cloud Computing Platform • Confidentiality and integrity of Cloud computations GEC12

  7. VICCI Facility • Hardware • 7 geographically dispersed compute clusters • US: Seattle WA, Palo Alto CA, Princeton NJ, Atlanta GA • Europe: Saarbrucken(Germany), Zurich (Switzerland) • Asia: Tokyo (Japan) • 70 x 12-core Intel Xeon servers w/48GB RAM • 4 OpenFlow-enabled switches • 1Gbps connectivity between clusters, 10Mbps to Internet • Software • Lightweight virtual machines • Remote management software for creating, provisioning, and controlling distributed VMs GEC12

  8. Developing VICCI GEC12

  9. Questions • Does VICCI have value to the GENI research community? • Resources: PlanetLab + OpenFlow clusters • Experimental building block services • VICCI URL: http://www.vicci.org GEC12
