Description
Cloud testbeds are critical for enabling research into new cloud technologies - research that
requires experiments which potentially change the operation of the cloud itself. Several such
testbeds have been created in recent past (e.g., Chameleon, CloudLab, etc.) with the goal to
support the CISE systems research community. It has been shown that these testbeds are very
popular and heavily used by the research community [1]. Testbed utilization often reaches
100%, especially ahead of deadlines for major systems conference, while there are also periods
of modest (<40%) testbed usage.
