Over the decades the rapid development of broadly defined computer technologies, both software and hardware is observed. Unfortunately, software solutions are regularly behind in comparison to the hardware. On the other hand, the modern systems are characterized by a high demand for computing resources and the need for customization for the end users. As a result, the traditional way of system construction is too expensive, inflexible and it doesn’t have high resources utilization. Present article focuses on the problem of effective use of available physical and virtual resources based on the OpenStack cloud computing platform. A number of conducted experiments allowed to evaluate computing resources utility and to analyze performance depending on the allocated resources. Additionally, the paper includes structural and functional analysis of the OpenStack cloud platform.
