Abstract
Over the last few years, the context of big data has gained a significant traction due to many factors. While the public cloud model had been deeply studied to face the increasing demand for large-scale data processing capabilities, many organizations are now focusing on the hybrid cloud model, where the classic scenario is enriched with a private (company owned) cloud -- e.g., for the management of sensible data. In this work, we propose HyMR, a policy to enable autonomic cloud bursting for clusters of virtual machines operating MapReduce jobs over a hybrid cloud. This policy -- together with an infrastructure level system for resource provisioning in hybrid clouds -- can be used to face the temporary (or permanent) lack of computational resources on the private cloud, allowing cloud bursting in the context of big data applications. By means of an empirical evaluation of the system scale-up/-down performance, we show that HyMR policy allows the user to significantly reduce the data-processing time.
