Abstract:
The popularity of Cloud Computing has contributed to the growth of new business models, which have changed how companies develop and distribute their software. The reoccurring use of cloud resources called for a more modern and Cloud-Native approach in contrast to traditional monolithic architecture. While this approach has introduced better portability and use of resources, the abstraction of the infrastructure beneath it incited doubts about its reliability. Through the use of benchmarks, cloud providers began to provide quality assurances for their users in the form of service-level agreements (SLA). Although benchmarking allowed such assurances to be defined, the variety of offered services, each one of them requiring different tools, along with a nonexistent standard of input and output formats, has turned this in an arduous task. In order to promote better interoperability of benchmarking, we propose ISABEL, a benchmark suite for Cloud-Native platforms that standardizes the pro
cess of benchmarking using any existing benchmark tool.
