Cloud monitoring and discovery service (CMDS) for IaaS resources

Cloud Computing is one of the distributed computing paradigms and it is mainly focusing on providing everything as service to the consumers. In Cloud Computing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the service delivery model and it provides computational or storage resources, database and network resources to the users or customers. Eucalyptus is one of the open source cloud middleware, it is capable of creating private cloud inside an organization. The main drawback of the open source toolkit is it does not offer an integral monitoring and discovery service. The scalable monitoring and discovery service is important for managing the cloud resources. The proposed and implemented Cloud Monitoring and Discovery Service (CMDS) integrated with external information provider´s discovers the cloud resources in a scalable way. The proposed model is integrated with CARE Resource Broker (CRB) and it is helpful for CRB for making scheduling decisions in cloud resources for virtual resource creation and application execution. The proposed system enhances the throughput of jobs by scaling of resources using CMDS in addition to that it increases the job success ratios of CRB.
