Abstract

We propose ForeBurst, an open source tool for performance prediction for complex cloud-based applications. ForeBurst leverages queueing network models for predicting performance metrics such as resource utilizations, request response times, and credit usage in burstable resources, such as the Amazon EC2 T-family instances.
