Abstract

The evolution of Cloud Computing technology marks a long debate in terms of the changes produced in Information Technology (IT) for practitioners and academics, who acknowledge the involvement of several technologies during the years. This paper presents the experience of deploying a private cloud using Eucalyptus open source. Section 2 identifies the similarities and differences between cloud computing and other technologies. Section 3 describes the Eucalyptus private cloud deployment. Section 4 of this paper reveals the euca2ools operations. Moreover, the paper illustrates the encountered problems in our private cloud with their corresponding solutions. Finally, in section 6 the paper presents the concluding remarks.
