Abstract

Elasticity is the ability of a software system to dynamically adapt the amount of the resources it provides to clients as their workloads increase or decrease. In the context of cloud computing, automated resizing of a virtual machine's resources can be considered as a key step towards optimisation of a system's cost and energy efficiency. Existing work on cloud computing is limited to the technical view of implementing elastic systems, and definitions of scalability have not been extended to cover elasticity. This study thesis presents a detailed discussion of elasticity, proposes metrics as well as measurement techniques, and outlines next …(more)
