Thereafter, cloud simulation tools are used as a cheap alternative to test Cloud configuration. However, most of existing cloud simulation tools require extensive technical skills and does not support simulation of any kind of cloud resources. In this context, using a model-driven approach can be helpful as it allows developers to efficiently describe their needs at a high level of abstraction. To do, we propose, in this article, a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach based on the OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface) standard metamodel and CloudSim toolkit. We firstly extend OCCI metamodel for supporting simulation of any kind of cloud resources. Afterward, to illustrate the extensibility of our approach, we enrich the proposed metamodel by new simulation capabilities. As proof of concept, we study the elasticity and pricing strategies of Amazon Web Services (AWS). This article benefits from OCCIware Studio to design an OCCI simulation extension and to provide a simulation designer for designing cloud configurations to be simulated. We detail the approach process from defining an OCCI simulation extension until the generation and the simulation of the OCCI cloud configurations. Finally, we validate the proposed approach by providing a realistic experimentation to study its usability, the resources coverage rate and the cost. The results is compared with the ones computed from AWS.Lire moins >
