Abstract

Clouds is a native operating system for a distributed environment. In this paper we give an overview of the main ideas behind Clouds as well as some of te reasons that prompted us to design a new Clouds kernal. The new kernal, called Ra, builds on the experience obtained from the first Clouds kernal and provides a general framework for implementing a variety of distributed operating systems. We describe the new kernal in detail and show how Clouds can be build from the RA primitives.
