Abstract

Cloud applications currently do not monitor how much of their resources are being wasted. These wasted resources cost money and consume power, unnecessarily increasing the environmental impact of running the application. This thesis aims to chart the waste in cloud applications in a way that allows developers to understand where the waste is and how to reduce it. Waste in cloud applications is the amount of allocated resources that are not being actively used. To get an understanding of how developers handle resource provisioning and monitoring in cloud applications, and how waste is managed, formal interviews with experts were conducted. The findings from the interviews were compared to the current literature and requirements for a waste monitoring system have been formulated. A formal method of monitoring waste in cloud applications is proposed for this purpose. An architectural framework that can be used to implement the waste monitoring system within the already used monitoring tools or as a new tool is also presented.
