Presentation:

Meryn is an open, SLA-driven PaaS architecture that supports cloud bursting and allows hosting an extensible set of application types. Meryn relies on a decentralized optimization policy that aims at maximizing the overall provider profit, taking into account the penalties incurred when quality guarantees are unsatisfied  [51] . The current Meryn prototype was implemented using shell scripts, builds upon the Snooze VM manager software, and supports batch and MapReduce applications using respectively the Oracle Grid Engine OGE 6.2u7 and Hadoop 0.20.2 frameworks. Meryn was developed in the framework of Djawida Dib's PhD thesis [10] .
