Nefele: Simplifying Application Development for the Cloud

This demo presents Nefele, a fully distributed, multi-tenant process orchestration system for cloud infrastructures. Nefele is inspired by the Single System Image (SSI) vision and its aim is to hide the heterogeneous and distributed nature of the available resources in a cluster and present them to users and applications as a single unified computing resource. In Nefele, a developer is equipped with a set of SSI-like features and programming interfaces to simplify the complexities of process deployment and Inter Process Communication (IPC) in distributed environments. The developer uses the APIs to simply deploy, execute, connect, and monitor tenants' processes spread over several nodes in a cluster.
