On Monday, September 3rd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by 
Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda:

    The Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) Cloud

Abstract

Over the next few years, a new model of buying and selling cloud 
computing resources will evolve. Instead of providers exclusively 
selling server-equivalent virtual machines for relatively long periods 
of time (as done in today's IaaS clouds), they will increasingly sell 
individual resources (such as CPU, memory, and I/O resources) for a few 
seconds at a time. We term this nascent economic model of cloud 
computing the Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) cloud, and we argue that its 
rise is the likely culmination of recent trends in the construction of 
IaaS clouds and of the economic forces operating on both providers and 
clients.

The paper appeared in HotCloud 2012. Joint work with Muli Ben-Yehuda, 
Assaf Schuster and Dan Tsafrir. The theoretical talk will be followed by 
a code walk-through of patch to memcached which makes it an application 
that can use the benefits of the RaaS cloud, which is joint work with 
Eyal Posener.
