What is CloudSim? Architecture, Components & Scheduling (Cloud Simulation Toolkit) Part-2
🧪 Want to research cloud computing without paying for real hardware? Meet CloudSim.
CloudSim is a free, open‑source Java toolkit that lets you model and simulate entire cloud environments. In this lecture, you’ll learn:
Supporting components: Cloud Information Service, Broker, Scheduling, VM allocation
Time‑shared vs. Space‑shared scheduling (with visual comparison)
Resource provisioning policies (static vs dynamic)
Simulation flow (step‑by‑step)
Layered architecture (User Code → CloudSim → CloudSim Core → SimJava)
Getting started (JDK, Eclipse, directory structure)
Key takeaways & next steps
All concepts explained with clear diagrams and zero fluff.
