Extended OpenStack and OpenNebula Functionalities

• Improved scheduling for allocation of resources by popular open source Cloud platforms, i.e. OpenStack and OpenNebula.

  • Enhancements will address both better scheduling algorithms and support for spot-instances.

  • We will also support dynamic partitioning of resources among “traditional batch systems” and Cloud infrastructures (for some LRMS).

• Support for standards in IaaS resource orchestration engines through the use of the TOSCA standard.

  • This overcomes the portability and usability problem that ways of orchestrating resources in Cloud computing frameworks widely differ among each other.

• Improved IaaS orchestration capabilities for popular open source Cloud platforms, i.e. OpenStack and OpenNebula.

  • Enhancements will include the development of custom TOSCA templates to facilitate resource orchestration for end users, increased scalability of deployed resources and support of orchestration capabilities for OpenNebula.
