An API for Development of User-Defined Scheduling Algorithms in Aneka PaaS Cloud Software: User Defined Schedulers in Aneka PaaS Cloud Software

Cloud computing has been developed as one of the prominent paradigm for providing on demand resources to the end user based on signed service level agreement and pay as use model. Cloud computing provides resources using multitenant architecture where infrastructure is generated from multiple or single geographical distributed cloud datacenters. Scheduling of cloud application requests to cloud infrastructure is one of the main research area in cloud computing. Researchers have developed many scheduling applications for which they have used different simulators available in the market such as CloudSim. Performance of any scheduling algorithm will be different when applied to real time cloud environment as compared to simulation software. Aneka is one of the prominent PaaS software which allows users to develop cloud application using various programming models and underline infrastructure. In this chapter, a scheduling API is developed over the Aneka software platform which can be easily integrated with the Aneka software. Users can develop their own scheduling algorithms using this API and integrate it with Aneka software so that they can test their scheduling algorithm in real cloud environment. The proposed API provides all the required functionalities to integrate and schedule private, public or hybrid cloud with the Aneka software.
