Abstract:
Owing to the multi-tenancy of Software-as-a- Service applications, the management of their resources becomes a challenge and a crucial task in order to provide highly configurable applications to thousands of tenants in a shared and heterogeneous cloud environment. They need dynamic context-aware configuration and intelligent strategies for provisioning available and cost-efficient services. In this sense, this paper identifies open issues in autonomic resource provisioning and shows innovative management techniques for these applications on cloud. Indeed, our work will focus on implementing an autonomic management artifact of services variability concerning the context. In this paper, we highlight our process for the development of autonomic context-aware to manage the SaaS variability.
