GRUBER: A Grid Resource Usage SLA Broker
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resource sharing within grid collaborations usually implies specific sharing mechanisms at participating sites. Challenging policy issues can arise in such scenarios that integrate participants and resources spanning multiple physical institutions. Resource owners may wish to grant to one or more virtual organizations (VOs) the right to use certain resources subject to local usage policies and service level agreements, and each VO may then wish to use those resources subject to its usage policies. This paper describes GRUBER, an architecture and toolkit for resource usage service level agreement (SLA) specification and enforcement in a grid environment, and a series of experiments on a real grid, Grid3. The proposed mechanism allows resources at individual sites to be shared among multiple user communities.

متن کاملGrid resource management with service level agreements
With Grid computing adopting Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), resources are represented by services with standardized interfaces and the management of resources converges to the more general management of services (i.e. the Service Level Management). The key to Service Level Management is the management of Service Level Agreement (SLA), a formal contract between the provider and consumer of...
متن کاملExperiences in Running Workloads over Grid3
Running workloads in a grid environment is often a challenging problem due the scale of the environment, and to the resource partitioning based on various sharing strategies. A resource may be taken down during a job execution, be improperly setup or just fail job execution. Such elements have to be taken in account whenever targeting a grid environment for execution. In this paper we explore t...
متن کاملBusiness Model and the Policy of Mapping Light Communication Grid-Based Workflow Within the SLA Context
In the business Grid environment, the business relationship between a customer and a service provider should be clearly defined. The responsibility of each partner can be stated in the so-called Service Level Agreement (SLA). In the context of SLA-based workflows, the business model is an important factor to determine its job-resource-mapping policy. However, this aspect has not been described ...
