Abstract
Through virtualization, cloud computing offers resources that reduce the costs in the institutions that use hardware and software resources. In this paper, we present a model-based approach to automatically deploy software in the cloud. To evaluate our approach, we conducted an experiment in an IT company in which their software developers used our solution instead of manually deploying software in the cloud. After that, they answered a survey, so we could investigate the following metrics: maintainability, learnability and reduction of developer’s workload to deploy software services. The results showed that our solution presented a positive impact of at least of 25% percent for all the metrics. Moreover, since our approach relies upon UML models, it requires less effort to deploy the services as well as it can be used by any professionals that have basic skills about UML.
