  3. Presentation Overview • Project Motivation • Eucalyptus Components • Compute Components • Storage • Challenges • Moving Forward

  4. Project Motivation • Small clusters are needed • Similar to Amazon EC2, cloud service • National Security issues • Create, manage and modify virtual systems • Low cost software and hardware

  5. So….what is cloud computing? • A proven concept that allows on demand network access to a shared bundle of configurable computing resources. • Rapidly provisioned resources released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. • Facilitated distribution on licenses for clients. • Realize the true client-server model.

  6. Descriptions Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Private cloud • A particular type of cloud that is locally restricted in a private network. • For national labs such as LANL – Private clouds would be a must. • Using Eucalyptus – similar to Amazon’s cloud service EC2. • Clients instantiate their environment via a web browser.

  7. Cloud Example The resources available are known as the cloud

  8. Compute Components • Cloud Controller • Amazon EC2 API • Front end • Cluster controller • Multi-cluster clouds • I/O to NC • Node Controller • Control node • Reports on node

  9. Storage • Walrus • Images • Checkpoints • SC • NAS • SAN • NFS • Etc…

  10. Combined

  11. Challenges • Eucalyptus • Virtualization • VLANs • Fire

  12. Results? • Managed to instantiate 1 virtual machine instance from Eucalyptus • Inconsistent results • Used XEN to directly run a virtual machine • Small user base • Enterprise version vs. open source • Eucalyptus feasibility

  13. Moving Forward • Performance tests • Compute impact • I/O performance • Scale Larger • Hardware impact? • Full scale system • Explore the enterprise version

  14. Questions?
