Towards SLA-Supported Resource Management

چکیده
Abstract. Achievements and experiences in projects with focus on resource management have shown that the goals and needs of High Performance Computing service providers have not or only inadequately been taken into account in Grid research and development. Mapping real-life business behaviour and workflows within the service provider domain to the electronic level implies focusing on the business rules of the provider as well as on the complexity of the jobs and the current state of the HPC system. This paper describes an architectural approach towards a business-oriented and Service Level Agreement-supported resource management, valuable for High Performance Computing providers to offer and sell their services. With the introduction of a Conversion Factory the authors present a component that is able to combine the Service Level Agreement, the system status, and all business objectives of the provider in order to address the business needs of service providers in the Grid.

Towards a Meta-Negotiation Architecture for SLA-Aware Grid Services
In novel market-oriented resource sharing models resource consumers pay for the resource usage and expect that non-functional requirements for the application execution, termed as Quality of Service (QoS), are satisfied. QoS is negotiated between two parties following the specific negotiation protocols and is recorded using Service Level Agreements (SLAs) standard. However, most of the existing...
متن کاملSupporting SLA provisioning in grids by risk management processes
Grid technologies have reached a high level of development, however core shortcomings have been identified relating to security, trust, and dependability of the Grid which reduce its appeal to potential commercial adopters. Users require a job execution with a desired priority and quality. In order to stipulate such requirements, Service Level Agreements (SLA) can be negotiated. These are a pow...
متن کاملDynamic SLA Negotiation in Autonomic Federated Environments
Federated computing environments offer requestors the ability to dynamically invoke services offered by collaborating providers in the virtual service network. Without an efficient resource management that includes Dynamic SLA Negotiation, however, the assignment of providers to customer’s requests cannot be optimized and cannot offer high reliability without relevant SLA guarantees. We propose...
متن کاملTowards Autonomic Market Management in Cloud Computing Infrastructures
Cloud computing markets face challenges, such as a large variety of different resource types in the market. A large variety of resource types results in a low number of matches of ask and bids. Consequently, the market has a low liquidity, which is economically inefficient and can lead to market failure. To counteract this problem, SLA templates (i.e., templates for electronic contracts) have b...
متن کاملTowards Virtualized Service Providers Introducing Virtual Execution Environments for Application Lifecycle Management and SLA-Driven Resource Distribution within Virtualized Service Providers
Nowadays, the user only wants to use a certain service and forget any kind of management problem. For this reason, service providers tend to offer complex services which can be used by the users without any effort. However, providing these services implies a high management effort which requires a lot of human interaction. In this thesis, we propose the creation of a Virtualized Service Provide...
