BUNGEE

Update: This tool is no longer maintained and supported.

BUNGEE Cloud Elasticity Benchmark

BUNGEE is a Java based framework for benchmarking elasticity of IaaS cloud platforms. The tool automates the following benchmarking activities:

  1. A system analysis evaluates the load processing capabilities of the benchmarked platform at different scaling stages.
  2. The benchmark calibration uses the system analysis results and adjusts a given load intensity profile in a system specific manner.
  3. The measurement activity exposes the platform to a varying load according to the adjusted intensity profile.
  4. The elasticity evaluation measures the quality of the observed elastic behavior using a set of elasticity metrics.

At the moment, BUNGEE supports to analyse the elasticity of CloudStack and Amazon Web Service (AWS) based clouds that scale CPU-bound virtual machines horizontally.
