# Welcome to the Cloud Rapid Experimentation and Analysis Toolkit
Cloud Rapid Experimentation and Analysis Tool (aka CBTOOL) is a framework that automates IaaS cloud benchmarking through the running of controlled experiments.

## New! CloudBench is now released as a component of [SPEC Cloud IaaS 2018](http://spec.org/cloud_iaas2018)
## To get started:
1. [Learn more about the tool](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/DOC:-Table-of-Contents)
2. [Perform the initial installation](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Initial-Installation)
3. [Run the tool for the first time](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Running-the-tool-for-the-first-time)
4. [Prepare your cloud to be driven by the tool](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Preparing-your-cloud-to-be-driven-by-CBTOOL)
5. [Prepare a VM image to be used with the tool](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Preparing-a-VM-to-be-used-with-CBTOOL-on-a-real-cloud)
====> [Are you impatient? Use our workloads instead.](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/DOC:-Zero-configuration-(almost)-benchmarking-w--Nested-containers)
6. [Deploy your first Virtual Application](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Deploy-your-first-virtual-application)
7. [Run simple experiments](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Run-simple-experiments)
8. [If needed, debug the initial setup](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Debug-initial-setup)
9. [Configure CBTOOL to run outside of the cloud (or with multiple tenant networks)](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Run-the-CloudBench-orchestrator-outside-of-the-cloud-(or-with-multiple-tenant-networks))
1. [Detailed instructions on how to use OpenVPN support](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Use-VPN-support-with-your-benchmarks)
10. Look at some [auto generated plots](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Save-Monitoring-Data-on-the-Command-Line) made from the data collected.
11. Read our latest paper [IC2E 2013](http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2497243).
12. Try administrating the tool with the [Graphical Environment](https://github.ibm.com/marcios/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Using-the-Graphical-Environment)
1. Then try [monitoring your experiments with the Graphical Environment](https://github.ibm.com/marcios/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Monitoring-with-the-Graphical-Environment)
2. Try to [customize your dashboard monitoring data with filters in the Graphical Environment](https://github.ibm.com/marcios/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Customize-Dashboard-Monitoring-in-the-Graphical-Environment)
3. You can also try to use the [Graphical Wizard](https://github.ibm.com/marcios/cbtool/wiki/HOWTO:-Using-the-Wizard-for-first-time-connection) for a first-time connection.
13. Read the [Frequently Asked Questions](https://github.com/ibmcb/cbtool/wiki/FAQ)
## Features:
- Automatic deployment and controlled execution of multiple multi-tier applications.
Each individual application can have a specific load profile using probability distributions.
- Adapters for multiple clouds (EC2 and OpenStack, among others), with a plugin structure that allows new cloud models to be added incrementally.
- Can orchestrate different arrival rates and lifetimes for VMs using probability distributions.
- Collects application and system (OS) performance data from hosts and guests in real time.
- It is designed from the ground up to be highly scalable and parallel.
