Running and using cloud analyst

About Cloud Analyst

Cloud Analyst is a tool developed at the University of Melbourne whose goal is to support
evaluation of social networks tools according to geographic distribution of users and data
centers. In this tool, communities of users and data centers supporting the social networks are
characterized and, based on their location; parameters such as user experience while using the
social network application and load on the data center are obtained/logged

RUN cloud Analyst Simulator

1. Download Cloud Analyst:  http://www.cloudbus.org/cloudsim/CloudAnalyst.zi

2.       Extract Files from the Zip file which will give following folder structure

 CLOUDANALYST FOLDER STRUCTURE

 3. If you want to Run from Command line then

RUN CLOUDANALYST FROM COMMAND LINE

Or click on run.bat file

Done!!!
 RUN CLOUDANALYST FROM COMMAND LINE: DASHBOARD

4. Click on Show Region Boundaries:

RUN CLOUDANALYST FROM COMMAND LINE: DASHBOARD – REGIONS

Click on CONFIGURE Simulation

Here you can configure:

              Data Center Configuration

 Physical Hardware Details of Data center

 CLOUDANALYST – PHYSICAL HARDWARE DETAILS OF DATA CENTER

You will get:

CLOUDANALYST – DATA CENTER CONFIGURATIONS

CLOUDANALYST – DATA CENTER CONFIGURATIONS DETAILS

CLOUDANALYST – DATA CENTER CONFIGURATIONS – COPY

 Advanced configuration

CLOUDANALYST – ADVANCED CONFIGURATIONS

 User Base: models a group of users and generates traffic representing the users.
 Application Deployment Configurations (Cloudlets)
 Service Broker Policy

CLOUDANALYST – SERVICE BROKER CONFIGURATIONS

 CLOUDANALYST – MAIN CONFIGURATIONS

7. You can Save this Configuration as well in case you want to use it later. It is stored
as .sim file. XML data is generated and saved as Sim file.

CLOUDANALYST – SAVE CONFIGURATIONS

8. Saved configuration can be loaded anytime easily into Cloud Analyst

CLOUDANALYST – LOAD CONFIGURATIONS

8. So you need to enter data each time you want to run simulation.  I have created 2 DC in different
region, each with 20 physical host

9. User bases and each in different region; 25 VMs are allocated to fulfil requests from
all user bases from both the Data Center

10.       Once you are done with Configuration; click on done!!!

11. Define Internet Characterisctics

CLOUDANALYST – CONFIGURATIONS – INTERNET CHARACTERISTICS

Click on

CLOUDANALYST – CONFIGURE INTERNET CHARACTERISTICS

 Run Simulation
 CLOUDANALYST – RUN SIMULATION

 Simulation Results Window will Open

CLOUDANALYST – SIMULATION RESULTS

 Close it.
11.       Main Window will give all statistics
