Abstract

FutureGrid provides unique capabilities that enable researchers to deploy customized environments for their experiments in grid and cloud computing, and educators to deploy customized virtual private clusters for hands-on activities. A key enabling technology for this is virtualization and the provisioning of Infrastructure-asa-Service (IaaS) through cloud computing middleware. This extended abstract describes educational virtual appliances that are automatically self-configured to enable on-demand deployment of three popular distributed/cloud computing stacks (Condor, MPI, and Hadoop) within and/or across FutureGrid sites.
