CYCLONE Unified Deployment and Management of Federated, Multi-Cloud Applications
Various Cloud layers have to work in concert in order to manage and deploy
complex multi-cloud applications, executing sophisticated workflows for Cloud
resource deployment, activation, adjustment, interaction, and monitoring. While
there are ample solutions for managing individual Cloud aspects (e.g. network
controllers, deployment tools, and application security software), there are no
well-integrated suites for managing an entire multi cloud environment with
multiple providers and deployment models. This paper presents the CYCLONE
architecture that integrates a number of existing solutions to create an open,
unified, holistic Cloud management platform for multi-cloud applications,
tailored to the needs of research organizations and SMEs. It discusses major
challenges in providing a network and security infrastructure for the
Intercloud and concludes with the demonstration how the architecture is
implemented in a real life bioinformatics use case
Adaptive management of applications across multiple clouds:the SeaClouds approach
How to deploy and manage, in an efficient and adaptive way, complex applications across
multiple heterogeneous cloud platforms is one of the problems that have emerged with
the cloud revolution. In this paper we present context, motivations and objectives of the
EU research project SeaClouds, which aims at enabling a seamless adaptive multi-cloud
management of complex applications by supporting the distribution, monitoring and
migration of application modules over multiple heterogeneous cloud platforms. After
positioning SeaClouds with respect to related cloud initiatives, we present the SeaClouds
architecture and discuss some of its aspect, such as the use of the OASIS standard TOSCA
and the compatibility with the OASIS CAMP initiative
