Abstract:
Clouds are continuously changing environments where services can be composed with other ones in order to provide many types of other services to their users. In order to enable cloud platforms to manage and control their assets, they need to name, identify, and retrieve data about their virtual resources in different operating contexts. These tasks can not be easily accomplished using only the DNS and this leads cloud service providers to design proprietary solutions for the management of their name spaces. In this paper, we discuss a possible cloud naming system based on the eXtensible Resource Identifier (XRI) technology. More specifically, we evaluate the performance of OpenXRI, one of its open source implementations, simulating typical cloud name space management tasks.
