OpenStack-based Clouds as Holons: A Functional Perspective

| Abstract |
The generalization of distributed systems-of-systems lead to
increasing management and operation complexity. A sound approach to
deal with this complexity is to leverage overlay networks and the
higher level of abstraction they allow for distributed operations.
In particular, the virtualization of underlying network resources
allows providing a range of reusable network services and compose
them with existing systems. Recently, the notion of holons as
compositional systems entities was proposed as a general framework
for the programming and deployment of complex systems of systems.
We investigate if this abstract model can be applied to the complex
process of real-time composition of OpenStack-based IaaS clouds. In
this context, we also address issues related to the
energy-performance tradeoff using techniques similar to those
involving dynamic service consolidations. Our solution aims at
simplifying the life of infrastructure and service providers,
allowing them to face the dynamicity of new demands in Future
Internet. |
