A Technology to Expose a Cluster as a Service in a Cloud

Brock, M. and Goscinski, A.

Clouds refer to computational resources (in particular, clusters) that are accessible as scalable, on demand, pay- as-you-go services provided in the Internet. However, clouds are in their infancy and lack a high level abstraction. Specifically, there is no effective discovery and selection service for clusters and offer little to no ease of use for clients. Here we show a technology that exposes clusters as Web services in the form of a Cluster as a Service for publishing via WSDL, discovering, selecting and using clusters.
