Item Cloud application monitoring: The mOSAIC approach(2011) Rak, Massimiliano; Venticinque, Salvatore; Máhr, Tamás; Echevarria, Gorka; Esnal, Gorka; Tecnalia Research & InnovationCloud computing delegates the management of any kind of resources, such as the computing environment or storage systems for example, to the network. The wide-spread permeation of the Cloud paradigm implies the need of new programming models that are able to utilize such new features. Once the problem of enabling developers to manage Cloud resources in a clear and flexible way is solved, a new problem emerges: the monitoring of the quality of the acquired resources and of the services offered to final users. As the first step, the mOSAIC API and framework aim at offering a solution for the development of interoperable, portable and Cloud-provider independent Cloud applications. As the second step, this paper introduces the mOSAIC monitoring components that facilitate the building of custom monitoring systems for Cloud applications using the mOSAIC API.Item Experiences in building a mOSAIC of clouds(2013) Petcu, Dana; Di Martino, Beniamino; Venticinque, Salvatore; Rak, Massimiliano; Máhr, Tamás; Lopez, Gorka Esnal; Brito, Fabrice; Cossu, Roberto; Stopar, Miha; Šperka, Svatopluk; Stankovski, Vlado; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThe diversity of Cloud computing services is challenging the application developers as various and non-standard interfaces are provided for these services. Few middleware solutions were developed until now to support the design, deployment and execution of service-independent applications as well as the management of resources from multiple Clouds. This paper focuses on one of these advanced middleware solutions, called mOSAIC. Written after the completion of its development, this paper presents an integrated overview of the mOSAIC approach and the use of its various software prototypes in a Cloud application development process. We are starting from the design concepts and arrive to various applications, as well as to the position versus similar initiatives.
