Do they deliver: Practical Security and Load Testing of the Cloud
Speaker: Matthias Luft
The rapid evolution of cloud based computing is often used to illustrate a possible paradigm shift in computing. The centralized processing and storing of data allows the development of new architectural approaches as well as completely new usage experiences. The implementation of these architectural models is a critical requirement to profit from a shift in computing to this new model.
To provide a toolset for measuring potential profits for performing this shift, we want to introduce "skyscraper": It is a framework for load testing cloud based applications including a specially developed demo application for major cloud platforms. Using skyscraper, the results of several load tests are illustrated to show possibilities and caveats of the scalability of cloud based infrastructures. The evaluations were performed against the platforms of several major cloud service providers hosting the demo application of skyscraper. This demo application is utilizing all possibilities to improve scalability and security of cloudified applications, so a guide to the security and scalability features and limitations of cloud platforms is presented in addition.
