Abstract

With the recent trend of exploiting resources of the cloud, we have embarked on a journey to deploy an open source cloud using Eucalyptus. During the past year we have learned many lessons about the use of Eucalyptus and clouds in general. The area of security provides significant challenges in operating a cloud, the scalability supposedly inherent in clouds isn't a given, and the process of supporting cloud users is different and more complicated than supporting desktop or even HPC users.
