IaaS technologies compared (I)

Last week, I had the chance to be lecturing at the Masters on Free Software in the  URJC regarding project evaluation. After a brief introduction to cloud  computing and the different delivery models, we covered some FLOSS evaluation methodologies such as OpenBRR or QSOS aimed this occasion to compare several IaaS technologies. Particularly we focused on three technologies: OpenStack, CloudStack and OpenNebula.

For the metrics involved in the analysis, we provided the students with the databases resulting from mining the project repositories with the tool CVSAnaly:

• cvsanaly_openstack_folsom.mysql (Bitergia link)
• cvsanaly_cloudstack.mysql
• cvsanaly_opennebula.mysql

Let’s see the students research and point of view in a few weeks time about the IaaS technologies and the OpenBRR methodology.
