Towards Holistic Cloud Management

چکیده
Despite significant attention and substantial efforts both in industry and academia, cloud computing has yet to reach its full potential. Commonly stated obstacles for cloud adoption include confusion due to multiple delivery models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment scenarios (public clouds, private clouds, cloud bursting etc.). Other frequent concerns relate to risks with outsourcing, data legislation issues, inability to assess trust in external providers, etc. In addition to these obstacles to cloud computing as a concept, there are also technical thresholds in today's cloud offerings, making cloud infrastructure provisioning and service lifecycle management tedious processes. We aim to address these issues by research in five main directions: cloud service lifecycle optimization, adaptive self-preservation, self-management based on non-functional criteria, support for multiple cloud architectures, as well as market and legislative studies. The main outcome of our research is the OPTIMIS Toolkit, a set of flexible tools for service and infrastructure self-management.

Integrating Configuration Management with Model-driven Cloud Management based on TOSCA
The paradigm of Cloud computing introduces new approaches to manage IT services going beyond concepts originating in traditional IT service management. The main goal is to automate the whole management of services to reduce costs and to make management tasks less error-prone. Two different service management paradigms are used in practice: configuration management and model-driven Cloud managem...
متن کاملTowards a Consumer Cloud Computing Maturity Model - Proposition of Development Guidelines, Maturity Domains and Maturity Levels
In recent years, Cloud Computing (CC) has transformed from a new trend to IT management reality. Its potential promises to significantly change computing and benefit many organisations but at the same time uncertainty and the need for managerial guidance prevail. To benefit from the opportunities that CC promises, organisations need to adapt to the new circumstances that this phenomenon trigger...

While cloud computing has seen widespread usage, there exist domains where the diminishing of management capabilities associated with cloud computing prevent adoption. One such domain is the health sector, which is the focus of the TRESOR project. Enabling cloud computing usage under strict compliance constraints such as enterprise policies and legal regulations is the goal of TRESOR. The main ...
متن کاملTowards Self-Protective Multi-Cloud Applications - MUSA - a Holistic Framework to Support the Security-Intelligent Lifecycle Management of Multi-Cloud Applications
The most challenging applications in heterogeneous cloud ecosystems are those that are able to maximise the benefits of the combination of the cloud resources in use: multi-cloud applications. They have to deal with the security of the individual components as well as with the overall application security including the communications and the data flow between the components. In this paper we pr...

Real-time stream processing in the cloud is gaining significant attention for its ability to mine massive amounts of data for a variety of applications, such as in reconnaissance missions or search-and-rescue operations. In cloud-based real-time streaming applications, dynamic resource management mechanisms are needed to support the real-time requirements of these applications. However, for any...
