Abstract:

The significant meaning of the measurement study of cloud computing for the application and development of cloud computing was highlighted, and then a comprehensive survey of the recent research advances in the monitoring system architecture and measurement technology was provided. The architecture and implementation of the typical monitoring systems for cloud computing were introduced and compared. Moreover, the categorization and comparison of the various approaches for the performance measurement of cloud computing were detailed analyzed, and then the research works in traffic measurement, topology measurement and reliability measurement were summarized. Finally, the future possible research directions in the measurement study of cloud computing were prospected.

Key words: cloud computing； monitoring system； performance measurement； traffic measurement； reliability measurement
