Abstract
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud providers hide available interfaces for virtual machine (VM) placement and migration, CPU capping, memory ballooning, page sharing, and I/O throttling, limiting the ways in which applications can optimally configure resources or respond to dynamically shifting workloads. Given these interfaces, applications could migrate VMs in response to diurnal workloads or changing prices, adjust resources in response to load changes, and so on. This article proposes a new abstraction that we call a Library Cloud and that allows users to customize the diverse available cloud resources to best serve their applications.
We built a prototype of a Library Cloud that we call the Supercloud. The Supercloud encapsulates applications in a virtual cloud under users’ full control and can incorporate one or more availability zones within a cloud provider or across different providers. The Supercloud provides virtual machine, storage, and networking complete with a full set of management operations, allowing applications to optimize performance. In this article, we demonstrate various innovations enabled by the Library Cloud.

Economics of a supercloud
CrossCloud '16: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on CrossCloud Infrastructures & PlatformsA Supercloud is a "CrossCloud": It is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that goes beyond federated or hybrid clouds and gives its users direct control over cloud deployments--even across different underlying cloud providers (Jia et al. 2015). It ...
Supercloud: Opportunities and Challenges
Special Issue on Repeatability and Sharing of Experimental ArtifactsInfrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds couple applications tightly with the underlying infrastructures and services. This vendor lock-in problem forces users to apply ad-hoc deployment strategies in order to tolerate cloud failures, and limits the ...
Plug into the Supercloud
Cloud computing is often compared to the power utility model, but today's cloud providers don't simply supply raw computing resources as a commodity; they also act as distributors, dictating cloud services that aren't compatible across providers. A ...
