On defining metrics for elasticity of cloud databases

In the database area, elasticity of cloud computing has required data systems to increase and decrease their resources on demand. However, traditional benchmark tools for data systems are not sufficient to analyze some specificities of these systems in a cloud. New metrics for elasticity are needed to provide an indicator both from consumer and provider perspective. In this work we present a set of metrics for elasticity of cloud data systems. In addition, we evaluate our model performing experiments and analyzing their results.
