Various large-scale tests, including wide-area storage, content distribution, and some forms of sensing with analysis, require the simultaneous use of both widely distributed sensing and actuating nodes and analysis nodes in large-scale cloud clusters. Eucalyptus is popular, open-source software for building a cloud computing infrastructure. The GENICloud project will build a GENI federation interface for compute clusters running Eucalyptus. This interface will allow Eucalyptus clusters to federate via the Slice-based Federation Architecture (SFA), and will enable experimenters to seamlessly deploy and configure slices spanning PlanetLab and multiple Eucalyptus installations. The project anticipates devoting approximately 32 nodes at the HP Labs !OpenCirrus facility long-term to hosting a Eucalyptus cluster, and opening this to approved GENI researchers. This cluster will be tightly instrumented by HP Labs in order to gather data on cluster usage and resource usage === Current Capabilities === === Milestones === == Spiral 4 == * [[MilestoneDate(GENICloud: S4.a Help develop a vision for cloud computing in GENI)]] * [[MilestoneDate(GENICloud: S4.b GENICLoud is Operational)]] * [[MilestoneDate(GENICloud: S4.c GENICloud based coursework)]] * [[MilestoneDate(GENICloud: S4.d GENICloud based coursework delivered)]] == Project Technical Documents == === Project Reports === [wiki:GENICloud-Post-GEC10-status Progress report - March 2011] [[br]] [wiki:GENICloud/Feb2012-report Progress report - February 2012] [[br]] [wiki:GENICloud/FinalReport Final Report] === Spiral 2 Connectivity === === Upcoming Demonstrations === [GeniCloudGecTenDemonstration GEC 10 Demonstration] === Related Projects === [http://open.eucalyptus.com/ Eucalyptus]
