IMPLEMENTATION - Surplus resources to Private Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing offers a unique set of features and provides a highly efficient and scalable solution to hosting. All business companies and educational institutions use some or the other hosting platform to host their software and applications on the Cloud. Moreover, many such institutions or businesses have unused or surplus computing resources even though they are working perfectly but have less computing power or resources to run as a regular workstation, hence resulting in e-waste. This paper presents an approach to integrating these surplus computing resources to form one single datacenter Private Cloud, which can run software, containers and virtual machines and then test its efficacy for different types of hypervisors. An experimental setup is formalised to achieve the results and study the theoretical and practical usable resource values for this approach, and formula is derived to find them. The single-core performance of the Virtual Machines and the Containers are compared for the various operating system for different hypervisors.
