Abstract

As society’s dependence on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) grows, providing efficient and resourceful services entails many complexities that require, among others, scalable systems that are provided with intelligent and automated management. In parallel, the different components of cloud computing are continuously evolving to enhance their capabilities towards leveraging the next generation of ICTs. Due to the substantial investment in resources required to provide efficient services, suitable research and experimentation platforms to test and validate cloud technologies before releasing them into operational versions are crucial to delivering sound systems with sustainable cost/benefit ratios. In this article, we review the current state of the art by analysing cloud testbeds devoted to studying the capabilities of the cloud continuum. Instead of recalling a component-wise or architectural discussion of these systems, this article explores the full spectrum of the cloud continuum testbeds and their features, providing a taxonomy that can be practically used as an entry point to identify each testbed’s scope. Moreover, we extract the challenges found in the literature to deliver a profound discussion, correlating the analysed testbeds and their features. Our findings highlight the main gaps and potential roadmaps to provide effective testbeds considering the next generation of ICTs.

期刊介绍: Computer Science Review, a publication dedicated to research surveys and expository overviews of open problems in computer science, targets a broad audience within the field seeking comprehensive insights into the latest developments. The journal welcomes articles from various fields as long as their content impacts the advancement of computer science. In particular, articles that review the application of well-known Computer Science methods to other areas are in scope only if these articles advance the fundamental understanding of those methods.
