A new approach for almost automatic installation of elastic cloud infrastructures

摘要

In the context of the cloud infrastructures at the INFN computing center of Torino, we implemented new simplified tools based up on OpenNebula cloud manager for almost automatic deployment of standard cloud infrastructure, monitoring, maintenance, and VMs management within elastic cloud infrastructures. Such new tools for small and medium infrastructures could significantly improve their usability and efficiency by simplifying the installation and set up processes, providing easier access to elastic cloud technologies to sites with limited specific knowledge or dedicated manpower; introducing flexibility in a dynamic allocation of resources to the different stakeholders in one single infrastructure, maximizing the efficiency.
