- PUB PhD Student: Eliana Tirsa

Description
Cloud is a new computing model which seamlessly provides on- demand resource lease as transparent services to the user and it is based on virtualization technologies. XtreemOS is an open source, Linux basd, Grid operating system, with native suport for Virtual Organiza- tions. The main purpose of this work was to use a Nimbus Cloud, in order to provide on-demand resource nodes for an XtreemOS Grid. Nimbus implements an extensible IaaS cloud based on Xen virtual machines.
In this report we presented the automatic deployment of an XtreemOS resource, as a virtual machine in a Nimbus Cloud. We also mentioned the technical difficulties we had to overcome in order to achieve our goal.
