The cloud computing paradigm provides virtualized computing resources as on-demand services. This paradigm allows companies to focus on their business issues rather than conceiving and managing complex infrastructures. As a consequence, performance evaluation of cloud computing infrastructures has been receiving considerable attention by cloud service providers as a prominent activity for improving service quality as well as planning modifications in the current infrastructure to support future demands. This paper focus on the capacity planning of processing and storage resources related to an Electronic Funds Transfer service hosted on the Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure.
