EC3: Elastic Cloud Computing Cluster

作者：

Highlights：

• We developed a tool that creates elastic virtual clusters on top of IaaS Clouds.

• It manages the cluster size to dynamically adapt to its workload.

• It enables the interaction with different IaaS Cloud backends.

• Clusters become self-managed without requiring external entities.

• Significant cost savings are obtained for such clusters in Amazon EC2.
