Hel= lo CloudStack community members,

Thi= s email is meant to announce the publication of a project on Github that provides a distributed virtual machine scheduling platform that can be easily integrated with Apache CloudStack (ACS). The project is available at [1], you can find a detailed explanation of the idea of the project, its aspirations, basic concepts, installation and uninstallation processes and other information at [2]. Also, if you want to know more about the Autonomiccs and its creators, you can access the link [3].

The code that was opened at Github is part of a bigger system that has the goal of managing a cloud computing environment autonomously. All of that is being developed and used in my Ph. D. thesis and the masters=E2=80=99 thesis of some colleagues. The formalization of that component will be published at the 12th IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2016) at San Francisco USA.

You can see the stats of our code at [4] and [5]. Right now we only have ~40% of code test coverage. However, we intend to increase that value to ~60% until next week and ~90% until the end of June.

To give you a picture of what we are preparing for the future, we can highlight the following goals for this year (You can find others short term goals at [6]):

  • Int= egrate our platform [1] with a multi-agent system (MAS) platform, in order to facilitate the development of agents. Currently, we are using=20 Spring-integration to =E2=80=9Cemulate=E2=80=9D and an agent life cycle; t= hat can become a problem when needing to add more agents and they start to communicate with each other. Therefore, we will integrate the platform in [1] with JADE [7];

  • Tod= ay the metrics about the use of resource are not properly gathered by ACS; in order to develop more accurate predictions we need to store resource usage metrics.
