Cloud Computing and the Cloud Simulation
This paper discusses CloudSim (Cloud Simulation toolkit), which is analysed as an efficient toolkit for simulating Cloud scheduling and allocation policies and describes its application scheduling and scheduling policies.
Abstract
Cloud Computing is an emerging technology that is used to provide resources as services to its users on the utility basis. The customers of Cloud Computing enjoy these services in the form of applications, platform, or infrastructure. Before deploying these services on Clouds, their allocation policies need to be tested. But testing them on real Cloud infrastructure is very difficult and expensive in terms of time, money and effort. Thus, we use the concept of simulation for this purpose. In this paper, we discuss CloudSim (Cloud Simulation toolkit). CloudSim is analysed as an efficient toolkit for simulating Cloud scheduling and allocation policies.
