An autonomic virtualized architecture for clouds and sky

Autonomic Management of Cloud Neighborhoods through Pulse Monitoring

“…PBM has been demonstrated within Personal Autonomic Computing (PAC) [18] and Grid Computing [23] but the relevance to cloud computing had not been sufficiently explored. The system involved moving the Autonomic Manager away from the device on the physical layer and placed it on a virtualized server to monitor several devices in a neighborhood similar to what Pujolle [13] described. Each manager collates and sends the health of its monitored neighborhood to its subscribed neighboring autonomic manager in a message i.e.…”

“…Autonomic techniques are employed monitoring network conditions and calibrating the cloud-burst engine's network activities [10]. An Autonomic Cloud virtualized architecture proposed by Pujolle [13] uses agents distributed throughout the network, monitoring their own local neighborhood of devices and cooperating to characterize any problems more precisely which are then reported to the management center. Casalicchio [1] identified functional requirements of an autonomic service provisioning system and found that currently services such as auto-scaling and advanced monitoring are not usually offered by public IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) providers.…”
