SLA (Service Level Agreement) Driven Orchestration Based New Methodology for Cloud Computing Services

Abstract:

Cloud Computing is not a revolution; it’s an evolution of computer science and technology emerging by leaps and bounds, in order to merge all computer science tools and technologies. Cloud Computing technology is hottest to do research and explore new horizons of next generations of Computer Science. There are number of cloud services providers (Amazon EC2), Rackspace Cloud, Terremark and Google Compute Engine) but still enterprises and common users have a number of concerns over cloud service providers. Still there is lot of weakness, challenges and issues are barrier for cloud service providers in order to provide cloud services according to SLA (Service Level agreement). Especially, service provisioning according to SLAs is core objective of each cloud service provider with maximum performance as per SLA. We have identified those challenges issues, as well as proposed new methodology as “SLA (Service Level Agreement) Driven Orchestration Based New Methodology for Cloud Computing Services”. Currently, cloud service providers are using “orchestrations” fully or partially to automate service provisioning but we are trying to integrate and drive orchestration flows from SLAs. It would be new approach to provision cloud service and deliver cloud service as per SLA, satisfying QoS standards.
