Abstract
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have focal importance if the commercial customer should be attracted to the Grid. An SLA-aware resource management system has already been realize, able to fulfill the SLA of jobs even in the case of resource failures. For this, it is able to migrate checkpointed jobs over the Grid. At this, virtual execution environments allow to increase the number of potential migration targets significantly. In this paper we outline the concept of such virtual execution environments and focus on the SLA negotiation aspects.
This work has been partially supported by the EU within the 6th Framework Programme under contract IST-031772 “Advanced Risk Assessment and Management for Trustable Grids” (AssessGrid).
