Snooze: an Autonomic and Energy-Efficient Management System for Private Clouds

International audienceSnooze is an open-source scalable, autonomic, and energy- efficient virtual machine (VM) management framework for private clouds. It allows users to build compute infrastructures from virtualized re- sources. Particularly, once installed and configured it allows its users to submit and control the life-cycle of a large number of VMs. For scal- ability, the system relies on a self-organizing and healing hierarchical architecture. Moreover, it performs energy-efficient distributed VM man- agement. Therefore, it implements features to monitor and estimate VM resource utilization (CPU, memory, network Rx, network Tx), detect and resolve overload/underload situations, perform dynamic VM consol- idation through live migration, and finally power management to save energy. Last but not least, it integrates a generic scheduler which allows to implement any VM placement algorithm. This demo will expose the Snooze's main properties (scalability, energy-efficiency, autonomy, and fault-tolerance) through its graphical interface
