Abstract:
The management of clouds comprised of hundreds of hosts and virtual machines present challenging problems to administrators in ensuring that performance agreements are met and that resources are efficiently utilized. Automated approaches can help in managing such environments. Autonomic managers using policy-based management can provide a useful approach to such automation. We describe different elements of a cloud system and outline how collections of collaborating autonomic managers in cloud can be a step towards better management of clouds. We also give formal definition of different elements in the managed system and show a summary of implementation results.
