Abstract:
As the adoption of Cloud Computing is growing, the automated deployment of cloud-based systems is becoming more and more important. New standards, such as TOSCA (OASIS), allow the modeling of interoperable Cloud services. It is now possible to build reusable and portable cloud services that can be (semi-) automatically deployed by different cloud-deployment-engines at various Cloud environments. However, there is still an acceptance problem among potential users, especially in the enterprise segment, that stems from security issues like data security. To improve security in automatic Cloud management engines, this paper proposes a framework for processing non-functional requirements of Cloud services.
