Cluster as a Service for Self-Deployable Cloud Applications

Cloud computing environments have certain techniques to make applications auto-scale according to the load. The environment is also used for disaster recovery. For instance, environments may allow applications to move to other cloud environments in the event of disasters. Some applications, like continuous integration tests, need to have execution environments that depend on their test running context. Currently, these application types are treated individually for development. However, they can be developed as self-deployable applications and the Cluster as a Service foundation supports them. This paper shows the possibility of this idea and discusses a prototype foundation.
