Implementation of the KVM Hypervisor on Several Cloud Platforms: Tuning the Apache CloudStack Agent
The default KVM setup included in OpenNebula,
Eucalyptus and Apache CloudStack could not perform well
enough under certain circumstances, because it does not expose
to the guest VMs some of the features included in the modern
processors. In order to tune up the cloud platform for obtaining
a better CPU performance for the virtualized software executed
under the KVM hypervisor, we have proposed and tested an al-
ternative KVM setup in Apache CloudStack. The setup provided
could also be applied to other cloud platforms.
