Assessing and Enhancing CC-Snapshot for Reproducible Experiment Enviroments

Hello, My name is Zahra Temori. I am a rising senior in Computer Science at University of Delaware. I’m excited to be working with the Summer of Reproduciblity and the Chameleon Cloud community. My project is cc-snapshot that focuses on enhancing features for helping researchers capture and share reproducible experimental environments within the Chameleon Cloud testbed.

Here is a detailed information about my project and plans to work for summer proposal.

June 10 – June 14, 2025

Getting started with the first milestone and beginning to explore the Chameleon Cloud and the project:

• I began familiarizing myself with the Chameleon Cloud platform. I created an account and successfully accessed a project.
• I learned how to launch an instance and create a lease for using computing resources.
• I met with my mentor to discuss the project goals and outline the next steps.
• I experimented with the environment and captured a snapshot to understand the process.

It has been less than a week and I have learned a lot specially about the Chameleon Cloud and how it is different from other clouds like AWS. I am exited to learn more and make progress.

Thanks for reading, I will keep ypu updated as I work :)
