Measures reported by AWSEc2VmDeployTest

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that enables you to launch and manage Linux/UNIX and Windows server instances in Amazon's data centers. With Amazon EC2, you can get access to infrastructure resources using APIs or web tools and utilities.

This test enables the adminitrators to verify whether the VMs are Powered on and off successfully and also reports the time taken by the VMs to power on and off. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Vm_poweredon Indicates whether the configured VM is Powered-on successfully or not. Boolean A value 0 indicates that the configured VM is Not Powered-on and the value 100 indicates that the VM is Powered-on.
Poweredon_res_time Indicates the time taken by the VM to power on. Secs This measure is applicable only if the Vm_poweredon measure returns a value of 100.

A consistent increase in the value of this measure indicates that the performance of the VM is gradually deteriorating. Ideally, the value of this measure should be low.

Vm_poweredoff Indicates whether the configured VM is Powered-off successfully or not. Boolean This measure is applicable only if the Vm_poweredon measure returns a value of 100.

A value 0 indicates that the configured VM is Not Powered-off and the value 100 indicates that the VM is Powered-off.

Poweredoff_res_time Indicates the time taken by the VM to power off. Secs This measure is applicable only if the Vm_poweredon and Vm_poweredoff measures each return a value of 100.

A consistent increase in the value of this measure indicates that the performance of the VM is gradually deteriorating. Ideally, the value of this measure should be low.
