Kurzfassung
The advent of advanced virtualized IT infrastructures
that can be provisioned as on-demand services, known as
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Cloud Computing, has created
new research challenges and opportunities. The capability to
rapidly allocate and deallocate seemingly infinite amounts of
system resources is a defining characteristic of this technological
trend. Operating multi-tier applications on a continuously
changing environment is one of the big challenges in IaaS Cloud
Computing. This challenge is even more daring, if applications
are not running at one specific Cloud site but on multiple
different sites of various providers. This work is motivated by
the need for new deployment description approaches that target
application run-time aspects in federated Clouds. We propose six
key requirements for IaaS deployment description languages that
facilitates continuous application deployment on a permanently
changing infrastructure across multiple Cloud sites: software
deployment on dynamic virtual machine resource pools, continuous
system supervision and change management, a generic
model for federated Clouds, automated software configuration
management, multi-tier dependency management, and use of a
machine-readable language.
