Clouds’ Infrastructure Taxonomy, Properties, and Management Services

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 193))

Abstract

Moving current Clouds’ infrastructure to trustworthy Internet scale critical infrastructure requires supporting the infrastructure with automated management services. Thereby, the infrastructure provides, as described by NIST, “minimal management effort or service provider interaction” [11]. The initial step in this direction requires understanding how experts in the domain manage Clouds’ infrastructure, and how the infrastructural components are interlinked with each other. These are the main contribution in this paper; i.e. proposes a Cloud taxonomy focusing on infrastructure components interaction and management, provides a real life scenario of a critical application architecture using the proposed taxonomy, and then derive the management services using the provided scenario. Public Cloud model supports very limited features in comparison with other models, e.g. community Cloud. In this paper we analyze the management services at community Cloud to identify the ones which require automation to be adopted at public Cloud.
