Abstract
We start this book with an introduction of what benchmarking is and what it is not, both in general and specifically in the context of cloud services. For that purpose, we introduce our notion of cloud services and discuss how cloud service benchmarking can be used to gain insights into these services’ quality characteristics. We furthermore introduce the idea of using cloud services as a testbed for benchmarking. Finally, at the end of this chapter, we provide an overview of the remainder of this book.
