Abstract

The cloud platform has been the top choice when technology startup companies choose the best platforms to deploy their systems. This paper presents a series of decision procedures for choosing the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in cloud computing from the perspective of technology startup companies. We target startup companies as potential users. We have developed a decision tree for assisting entrepreneurs and developers to choose the IaaS according to performance and usability of Docker versus OpenStack. We use the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) as a benchmark for key-value storage. The target databases include MongoDB and Cassandra. The decision assists the technology startup companies to choose the cloud platform with the best fit while developing and deploying the web services.
