“…By triggering network activity queuing for hosted VMs it becomes possible to ensure unreliable protocols recover within the logical encapsulation upon rollback. This is because in-flight packets can be received by the virtualization platforms and placed with their corresponding guest state images [9].…”

An emerging trend in distributed systems is the creation of dynamically provisioned heterogeneous high performance platforms that include the co-allocation of both virtualized computing and network attached storage volumes offering NAS and SAN level data services. These high performance computing environments support parallel applications performing traditional file system operations. As with any parallel platform the ability to continue computation in the face of component failures is an important characteristic. Achieving resiliency in heterogeneous environments presents unique challenges and opportunities not found in homogeneous aggregations of computing resources. We present a logical encapsulation model for heterogeneous high performance infrastructure, which enables a reactive resiliency approach for federations of virtual machines and externally hosted physical storage volumes. Asynchronous state capture and restoration models are presented for individual resources, which are composed into non-blocking resiliency models for logical encapsulations. We perform an evaluation that demonstrates our methodology has greater overall flexibility and significant performance improvements when compared to current resiliency approaches in virtualized distributed execution environments.

Cloud provides users with a new model of utilizing the computing infrastructure with the ability to perform parallel and distributed computations using elastic virtual cluster. However, the multi-level and complex features make cloud computing system more prone to failure. In this paper, we present a multi-level fault-tolerant system for distributed applications in cloud named Distributed-application oriented Multi-level Checkpoint/Restart for Cloud (CDMCR). The CDMCR system backups the complete state of applications periodically with a snapshot-based distributed checkpointing protocol, including file system state. Thus, we cannot only recover processes but also rollback data. A multi-level recovery strategy is proposed, which includes process-level recovery, virtual machine recreation, and host rescheduling, enabling comprehensive and efficient fault tolerance for different components in cloud. We deploy CDMCR as PaaS, so that users can be liberated from node management and system configuration and get access to fault-tolerant service conveniently. We have implemented this system based on the Xen virtualization platform and the OpenNebula cloud platform. Experiments on the prototype demonstrate the correctness of the system. Analysis shows that CDMCR does not cause message loss or data loss, and the backup time remains nearly constant as the number of nodes increases on virtual cluster.
