An Autonomic and Scalable Management System for Private Clouds

Snooze is an open-source scalable, autonomic, and energy-efficient virtual machine (VM) management framework for private clouds. It allows users to build compute infrastructures from virtualized resources. Particularly, once installed and configured, it allows its users to submit and control the life-cycle of a large number of VMs. For scalability, the system relies on a self-organizing hierarchical architecture. Moreover, it implements self-healing mechanisms in case of failure to enable high availability. It also performs energy-efficient distributed VM management through consolidation and power management techniques. This poster focuses on the experimental validation of two main properties of Snooze: scalability and fault-tolerance.
