how to simulate a cloud environment using java

I would like to simulate a cloud computing environment for testing purpose. I would prefer to develop this environment using java.
I am not sure where to start and how to start as I have never done simulation earlier on. I am aware of cloudsim but I would rather try to simulate the environment programmatically.

Any ideas or suggestions please?

Solution

  • The App Engine Java SDK enables you to debug your code locally on your computer. Above all it gives you the ability to simulate the consistency model. From their SDK:

    You can configure the local datastore to simulate the consistency model of the High Replication Datastore. This will give you a good idea how an application configured to use the High Replication Datastore will operate in production.
