Abstract

Elasticity is one of the primary reasons of the popularity of cloud computing. However, a frequent problem is affecting this popularity - longer processing time for the acquired Virtual Machines (VM) to be ready for usage. This problem hinders the advantages of elasticity. This processing time, known as VM startup time, depends on various factors. VM startup time varies due to space-time trade-off. Comparing VM startup time according to distinctive factors allows users to choose their desirable VM. They have options to select among the VMs as per their preferences. In this paper, we benchmark VM startup time in Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud for factors like instance type, time of the day, instance location, cluster creation and cluster resize.
