eclypse 0.8.2

an Edge-CLoud pYthon Platform for Simulated runtime Environments

ECLYPSE (Edge-CLoud pYthon Platform for Simulated runtime Environments) is the first simulation library entirely written in Python, for experimenting with deployment strategies in varying infrastructure conditions. It provides an interface to simulate deployments of service-based applications onto life-like infrastructures, without and with an actual application implementation to be deployed.

Installation

To install ECLYPSE and all its dependencies, you can run the following commands:

pip install eclypse

N.B. We strongly suggest the installation of ECLYPSE in a virtual environment.
