Abstract

Traditional application development tends to focus on two key objectives: the best possible performance and a scalable system architecture. This application development logic works well on private resources but with the growing use of public IaaS it is essential to find a balance between the cost and the performance of an application. Here we propose CLOUD-METRIC: a lightweight framework for cost-aware development of applications to be deployed in public clouds. The key functionality of CLOUD-METRIC is to allow users to develop applications on private IaaS (a dedicated cluster or an in-house cloud) while estimating the cost of running them on public IaaS. We have demonstrated the strengths of CLOUD-METRIC using two challenging use-cases orchestrated on SNIC Science Cloud, a community OpenStack cloud in Sweden, providing recommendation for a deployment strategy and associated cost estimates in Amazon EC2 and Google Compute Platform. In addition to cost estimation, the framework can also be used for basic application monitoring and as a real-time programming support tool to find bottlenecks in the distributed architecture.
