GWMEP: Task-Manageras-a-Service in Apache CloudStack
Abstract: To provide researchers with the computing capacity that they need, several solutions have emerged.Cloud computing is known for providing on-demand selfservice, elasticity, flexibility, and cost reduction. However, open source clouds such as Eucalyptus, OpenNebula, OpenStack, and Apache CloudStack don't provide features to handle computing tasks or workloads on virtual machines. Here, a solution is presented that lets the user execute tasks from within Apache CloudStack's interface, supporting task deployment, management, and retrieval, even in external Secure Shell (SSH)reachable computingresources.
