The RUBiS benchmark is now available as a Xen
virtual appliance with auto-deployment scripts,
integrated monitoring, new documentation, and
tutorial videos. The virtual appliance (VA)
includes the client emulator, the Tomcat Servlet
engine with the latest RUBiS implementation with
Hibernate, and a database with a pre-loaded RUBiS
dump. Ganglia is also used for monitoring. A set
of scripts is provided to deploy automatically the
different tiers in different VMs as needed.
This release provides improvements for NFS mounted
directories (no longer dependent on NFS for collecting log
files), logging (in a binary format now), remote shell, the C-
JDBC monitoring option, client emulation, and servlets.
Some errors in SQL queries have been fixed. The
EJB CMP 2.0 version has also been improved. The
Servlet version now supports Tomcat connection
pooling.
