Abstract

Nowadays, there are several open-source solutions for building private, public and even hybrid clouds such as Eucalyptus, Apache Cloud Stack and Open Stack. KVM is one of the supported hypervisors for these cloud platforms. Different KVM configurations are being supplied by these platforms and, in some cases, a subset of CPU features are being presented to guest systems, providing a basic abstraction of the underlying CPU. One of the reasons for limiting the features of the Virtual CPU is to guarantee the guest compatibility with different hardware in heterogeneous environments. However, in a large number of situations, the cloud is deployed on an homogeneous set of hosts. In these cases, this limitation can affect the performance of applications being executed in guest systems. In this paper, we have analyzed the architecture, the KVM setup, and the performance of the Virtual Machines deployed by three popular cloud management platforms: Eucalyptus, Apache Cloud Stack and Open Stack, employing a representative set of applications.

开源云管理平台的KVM CPU性能研究

如今，有几个开源解决方案用于构建私有云、公共云甚至混合云，如Eucalyptus、Apache Cloud Stack和Open Stack。KVM是这些云平台支持的管理程序之一。这些平台提供了不同的KVM配置，在某些情况下，CPU特性的子集被呈现给客户机系统，提供底层CPU的基本抽象。限制虚拟CPU特性的原因之一是为了保证客户机与异构环境中不同硬件的兼容性。然而，在很多情况下，云部署在一组同质的主机上。在这些情况下，此限制可能会影响在来宾系统中执行的应用程序的性能。在本文中，我们分析了三种流行的云管理平台(Eucalyptus、Apache cloud Stack和Open Stack)部署的虚拟机的架构、KVM设置和性能，并采用了一组具有代表性的应用程序。
