FutureGrid (FG) is an experimental, high-performance testbed that supports HPC, cloud and grid computing experiments for both application and computer scientist. FutureGrid includes the use of virtualization technology to allow the support of a wide range of operating systems in order to include a testbed for various cloud computing infrastructure as a service frameworks. Therefore, efficient management of a variety of virtual machine images becomes a key issue. Current cloud frameworks do not provide a way to manage images for different IaaS frameworks. They typically provide their own image repositories, but in general they do not allow us to store the needed metadata to handle other IaaS images. We present a generic catalog and image repository to store images of any type. Our image repository has a convenient interface that distinguishes image types. Therefore, it is not only useful for FutureGrid, but also for any application that needs to manage images. © 2011 IEEE.
