Performance enhancement of cloud computing: Methodology & tool

Abstract

— This paper describes the testing process employed for testing the in-house developed cloud by using the Google open source tool PerfKit and employing techniques for increasing the performance. Though new tools for testing cloud are emerging into the market, there are aspects which are suited for manual testing and some which can be speeded up using automatic testing tools for various cloud environments for Infrastructure, Platform and Software services. This paper brings out the techniques best suited to test different features of Cloud computing environment and to figure out the lacuna in performance of cloud services. The authors also try to bring out solutions to improve the performance of cloud (recommend) by using various tools to figure out the debugging and analysis process guidelines to follow while fine tuning the performance of private clouds.
