Abstract

In an educational context, experimenting with a real cloud computing platform is very important to let students understand the core concepts, methodologies and technologies of cloud computing. However, API heterogeneity of cloud providers complicates the experimentation by forcing students to focus on the use of different APIs, and by hindering the jointly use of different platforms. In this paper, we present EasyCloud, a toolkit enabling the easy and effective use of different cloud platforms. In particular, we describe its features, architecture, scalability, and use in our cloud computing courses, as well as the pedagogical insights we learnt over the years.

用于讲授云计算的教育工具包

在教育环境中，使用真实的云计算平台进行实验对于让学生理解云计算的核心概念、方法和技术非常重要。然而，云提供商的API异构性迫使学生专注于使用不同的API，并阻碍了不同平台的联合使用，从而使实验变得复杂。在本文中，我们介绍了EasyCloud，这是一个能够轻松有效地使用不同云平台的工具包。特别是，我们在云计算课程中描述了它的特性、架构、可扩展性和使用，以及我们多年来学到的教学见解。

期刊介绍： Computer Communication Review (CCR) is an online publication of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM) and publishes articles on topics within the SIG''s field of interest. Technical papers accepted to CCR typically report on practical advances or the practical applications of theoretical advances. CCR serves as a forum for interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development. The focus is on timely dissemination of new ideas that may help trigger additional investigations. While the innovation and timeliness are the major criteria for its acceptance, technical robustness and readability will also be considered in the review process. We particularly encourage papers with early evaluation or feasibility studies.
