Reproducing an experiment requires the investigator to recreate the original conditions including operating system, software installations and configurations, and the original data set. The challenge is compounded when the experiment must be run in a large scale environment.=0A=0AWe present our early research on creating a reproducible framework for the construction of large-scale computing envi- ronments on top of cloud computing infrastructures. The goal of our research is to reduce the challenges of experimental reproducibility for large-scale high performance computing areas.
