An approach for monitoring components generation and deployment for SCA applications
Résumé
Cloud Computing is an emerging paradigm involving different kind of Information Technologies (IT) services. One of the major advantages of this paradigm resides on its economic model based on pay-as-you-go. This paradigm got an increasing attention these last years regarding different aspects (e.g., deployment, scalability, elasticity), meanwhile, monitoring remains not well explored. Almost all the existing solutions for monitoring do not offer an approach that allows to describe in a granular way the monitoring requirements. Moreover, they do not take into account the scalability issues. In this paper, we propose a model that allows to describe monitoring requirements for Service Component Architecture (SCA) applications in different granularities. We propose an approach that transforms SCA components that were initially designed without monitoring facilities to render them monitorable. In our approach, we use a Micro-container based mechanism to deploy components in the Cloud. This mechanism ensures the scalability of SCA applications. Our solution take into account a late instantiation politic to reduce resources consumption to be in-line with the economic model of the Cloud. The realized experiments proves the efficiency of our solution
