SimGrid Cloud Broker: Simulating the Amazon AWS Cloud

Validating a new application over a Cloud is not an easy task and it can be costly over public Clouds. Simulation is a good solution if the simulator is accurate enough and if it provides all the features of the target Cloud. In this report, we propose an extension of the SimGrid simulation toolkit to simulate the Amazon IaaS Cloud. Based on an extensive study of the Amazon platform and previous evaluations, we integrate models into the SimGrid Cloud Broker and expose the same API as Amazon to the users. Our experimental results show that our simulator is able to simulate different parts of Amazon for different applications.
