Abstract | Virtualization technologies commonly known as Cloud model enable the execution of multiple virtual machine instances (VMs) with different operating systems (OSs) on the same physical host. Each VM instance functions independently as an isolated system with its own physical resources, OS copy and applications. There is only a limited number of currently available and widely used OSs used by most of the running VM instances; it is wasteful to store all the VM images with virtually the same common OS code. It is also inefficient in terms of performance and system resources utilization to virtually clone the entire image each time a new VM instance is provisioned. In addition, performing OS updates and patches are complicated, tedious and error prone since not only the stored images need to be updated, all the running VM instances must be properly refreshed. More importantly, faster provisioning of VM instances in respond to workload changes is critical to the successful operation of Cloud service providers. In this paper, we show our exploration work to address these performance issues by using a common, sharable operating system approach which provides run-time on-demand operating system components to individual VM instances in Cloud environment. This new approach allows optimized VM image storage, faster VM provisioning and efficient OS updates with minimum interruption. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
