Automatizando a gerência de infraestruturas de computação em nuvem para ensino de computação distribuída

Abstract

Cloud computing tools have been growing rapidly, creating exploration possibilities for such. More specificaly, IaaS services enable the creation of realistic development and execution environments for parallel and distributed algorithms. Coupling this to the challenges that comes with mantaining a local cluster, this kind of service becomes very interesting to the tutorship process on these algorithms. However, the configuration of such services to get to an ideal environment requires effort and time, also the repetition of the processes. This project implements an Amazon Web Services infrastructure with virtual machines, utilizing the platform orquestration tools to ensure replicability and ease of deployment. With the help of a command line interface, it allows for modifications of the instances to be deployed so that it meets distinct applications.
