Abstract

This paper documents the design and implementation of SilverLining, a student intern project to create a simplified user experience to the cloud. vCloud Director® (vCD) provides a full-featured interface for system administrators and others to configure and control their cloud computing resources. The SilverLining project streamlines user workflows and interactions, making it easier to find virtualized applications and add them into a personal workspace. To support this effort, we created a JavaScript SDK to communicate with vCD through its API.
