CloudLab（以及其他 GENI 衍生测试台）的用户通常使用图像快照来保留其工作环境并与其他用户共享。虽然快照逐字节地重新创建软件环境，但它们不利于组合多个环境，也不适合必须在具有细微差别的环境的多个版本上运行的实验。本文描述了我们在替代实验管理系统方面的初步工作。该系统建立在 Chef 配置管理系统的可消耗实例之上，并且可以在现有测试平台“之上”使用。
Users of CloudLab (and other GENI-derived testbeds) commonly use image snapshots to preserve their working environments and to share them with other users. While snapshots re-create software environments byte-for-byte, they are not conducive to composing multiple environments, nor are they good for experiments that must run across many versions of their environments with subtle differences. This paper describes our initial work on an alternative experiment management system. This system is built on expendable instances of the Chef configuration management system, and can be used “on top of” existing testbeds.
