Experiment design for cloud storage application based on CDMI

Abstract

Nowadays, subjects of cloud computing, especially cloud storage, are still thought to be new fields with few teaching opportunities. This paper discusses how to realize GET/PUT requests between REST client and servers, utilize CDMI (Cloud Data Management Interface) standard to carry on teaching experiment of cloud storage communication under Linux environment. Practice proves that it is useful to help students understand basic concepts of cloud environment and mechanism of cloud storage, and offer students access to the cloud standard.
