Hello All,
As you know, evaluating performance of a resource allocation policy for a cloud environment is very important, also it is critical to be able to compare different policies' performance with each other. So, I am interested to know that do developers of CloudStack use any specific tool to simulate a [new] resource allocation policy? I think it is not reasonable to use a real testbed for every single idea during the developing phase. Furthermore, comparing different policies to each other (using dependable simulators) can be used a basis to provide benchmarking results. Needless to say, by using simulator, I do not mean providing results using trial and error. Best regards, Pouya
