The most recent service model, function-as-a-service, enables developers to develop their application in a function-based structure and then deploy it to the Cloud. Using an optimum elastic auto-scaling, the performance of executing an application over FaaS Cloud, overcomes the extra overhead and reduces the total cost. However, researchers need a simple and well-documented FaaS Cloud manager in order to implement their proposed Auto-scaling algorithms. In this paper, we represent the openCoT platform and explain its building blocks and details. Experimental results show that executing a function (invoking and passing arguments) and returning the result using openCoT takes 21 ms over a remote connection. The source code of openCoT is available in the GitHub repository of the project (\\code{www.github.com/adanayi/opencot}) for public usage.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1901.00302v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.00302v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"opencot-the-opensource-cloud-of-things","repo_url":"https://github.com/ADanayi/openCOT","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
