Abstract: Virtual Computing Lab is a higher education cloud computing environment that on demand, allocates a chosen software stack on the required hardware and gives access to the customers, in this case NCSU students, faculty and staff. VCL has been in operation since 2004. An important component of the quality of the services provided by a cloud is the reliability and availability. For example, typical availability of the system exceeds 0.999, and reservation reliability is in the 0.99 range. VCL provides comprehensive information (provenance, logs, etc.) about its execution, its resources, and its performance. We mined the VCL log files to find out more about its reliability and availability, and the character of its faults and failures. This paper presents some of these results.
