Geo-distributed web-applications (GWA) can be deployed across multiple geographically separated datacenters to reduce the latency of access for users. Finding a suitable deployment for a GWA is challenging due to the requirement to consider a number of different parameters, such as host configurations across a federated infrastructure. The ability to evaluate multiple deployment configurations enables an efficient outcome to be determined, balancing resource usage while satisfying user requirements. We proposeGeoDeploy, a framework designed for finding a deployment solution for GWA. We evaluateGeoDeployusing both a formal algorithmic model and a practical cloud-based deployment. We also compare our approach with other existing techniques.
