TANSO: A componentized distributed service foundation in cloud environment

Abstract

Along with the improvement of cloud technologies, we envision that thousands of web applications whether owned by individuals or enterprises will be migrated into cloud. These web applications share the cloud resources while require different quality of service guarantees and management policies. It is challenging while with abundant innovation opportunities given the easy and dynamic provisioning of cloud resources. In order to facilitate practitioners to evaluate, experiment, or enhance existing functionalities of distributed web application management in cloud environment, a componentized distributed service foundation named TANSO is proposed. TANSO targets serving as platform to manage thousands of web application server instances and provide plenty of interfaces for user to extend and experiment new ideas. TANSO has implemented framework components to enable fundamental management. It also provides interfaces to admit and foster user's innovative algorithms and designs for managing large-scale web applications. ©2010 IEEE.
