ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present an Adaptive Brokerage for the Cloud (ABC) that can be used to simplify application deployment, monitoring and management processes in the cloud. The broker uses modern cloud infrastructure automation tools to test, deploy, monitor and optimise cloud resources. We used an e-commerce application to evaluate the entire functionality of the broker, we found out that different deployment options such as single-tier vs two-tier lead to interesting hardware and application performance insights. These insights are used to make effective infrastructure optimisation decisions.
