CloudSim Setup using IntelliJ IDEA
CloudSim is a simulation toolkit for cloud environments, which allows modelling cloud computing infrastructures with various application loads, configurations, etc. CloudSim is a community driven project initially developed by the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, University of Melbourne and under the GPL license.
Being an extensible framework, the CloudSim toolkit allows researches to add modifications to cloud data centres similar to new resource provisioning algorithms, and then simulate how the cloud infrastructure would handle a given workload with the new modifications. The data gathered from this simulation is then used for the analysis. In this manner, researchers do not have to worry about implementing the simulation engine, or configuring an actual cloud infrastructure even at the initial stages of the research.
The article https://www.cloudsimtutorials.online/cloudsim-setup-using-eclipse/ explains how to configure CloudSim and run an example simulation using the Eclipse. In this article, I will explain how to do the same with the popular IDE, IntelliJ IDEA.
