Abstract
Simplifying the process of deploying applications is almost essential in the cloud. However, existing techniques can automate applications' initial deployment but have not yet adequately addressed their scaling problem. In this paper, a deployment platform to enable a novel dynamic scaling technique is introduced. This platform employs: (i) an extensible specification that describes all aspects of applications, (ii) a flexible analytical model that determines how many servers to be deployed for an application in each scaling. The platform's ability to handle dynamic workloads and to scale applications quickly enough to maintain the response time target is demonstrated.Keywords
