Abstract

Modern computing infrastructures should enable realization of converged provisioning and governance operations on virtualized computing, storage and network resources used on behalf of users' workloads. These workloads must have ensured sufficient access to the resources to satisfy required QoS. This requires flexible platforms providing functionality for construction, activation and governance of Runtime Infrastructure which can be realized according to Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) paradigm. Implementation of the SOI management framework requires definition of flexible architecture and utilization of advanced software engineering and policy-based techniques. The paper presents an Adaptable SOI Provisioning Platform which supports adaptable SOI provisioning with lightweight virtualization, compliant with the structured process model suitable for construction, activation and governance of IT environments. The requirements, architecture and implementation of the platform are all discussed. Practical usage of the platform is presented on the basis of a complex case study for provisioning JEE middleware on top of the Solaris 10 lightweight virtualization platform.

MARCIN JARZĄB. Received his PhD. in Computer Science, at the University of Science and Technology (AGH – UST) in Kraków, Poland, in 2012. Currently he is Senior Researcher at the Department of Computer Science at the AGH-UST. He worked as a software consultant at Consol Solutions and Software from 2000-2002, participating in many projects for Telco companies. He was an intern at Sun Labs in the latter half of 2003, investigating the application of the Multi-tasking Java Virtual Machine to the J2EE environment. His research interests include the tuning and performance evaluation of distributed systems, design patterns, frameworks, lightweight virtualization technologies, and architectures of autonomic computing environments. Currently he works in SOA research project performed by IT-SOA Consortium in Poland and in a project releated with Polish national grid initiative – PL-Grid.
