ConPaaS
ConPaaS is a runtime environment for hosting applications in the cloud. It aims at offering the full power of the cloud to application developers while shielding them from the associated complexity of the cloud. ConPaaS is designed to host both high-performance scientific applications and online Web applications. It automates the entire life-cycle of an application, including collaborative development, deployment, performance monitoring, and automatic scaling. This allows developers to focus their attention on application-specific concerns rather than on cloud- specific details.
DiFFuSE
DiFFuSE (distributed framework for cloud-based epidemic simulations) is a framework that provides design support, reusable code, and tools for building and executing epidemic simulations in the cloud. DiFFuSE was developed in the context of MIHMES (2012-2017).
GinFlow
GinFlow is a distributed workflow engine. GinFlow decentralizes the execution coordination of workflow-based applications by relying on an architecture where multiple workflow engine agents coordinate each others through a shared space containing the workflow description and current status. GinFlow exposes a high-level API (either JSON-based or Java code-based) to describe your workflow and lets you run it over various distributed environments. At its core, GinFlow agents rely on chemistry-inspired computing.
PaaSage Adapter
The purpose of the PaaSage Adapter is to transform the current configuration of a cloud application into a target configuration in an efficient and safe way. This component is part of PaaSage, an open-source platform for modeling, deploying and executing applications on different clouds in an optimal manner.
Resilin
Resilin is an open-source system for creating and managing MapReduce execution platforms over clouds. Resilin is compatible with the Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) API, but it goes beyond Amazon’s proprietary EMR solution in allowing users (e.g. companies, scientists) to leverage resources from one or more public and/or private clouds. This enables performing MapReduce computations over a large number of geographically-distributed and diverse resources. Resilin can be deployed across most of the open-source and commercial IaaS cloud management systems (e.g., OpenStack, OpenNebula, Amazon EC2). Once deployed, Resilin takes care of provisioning Hadoop clusters and submitting MapReduce jobs, allowing users to focus on writing their MapReduce applications rather than managing cloud resources. Resilin is implemented in the Python language and uses the Apache Libcloud library to interact with IaaS clouds. Resilin has been evaluated on multiple clusters of the Grid’5000 experimentation testbed. The results show that Resilin enables the use of geographically distributed resources with a limited impact on MapReduce job execution time.
Snooze
Snooze is a novel Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud-management system, which is designed to scale across many thousands of servers and virtual machines (VMs) while being easy to configure, highly available, and energy efficient. For scalability, Snooze performs distributed VM management based on a hierarchical architecture. To support ease of configuration and high availability Snooze implements self-configuring and self-healing features. Finally, for energy efficiency, Snooze integrates a holistic energy management approach via VM resource (i.e. CPU, memory, network) utilization monitoring, underload/overload detection and mitigation, VM consolidation (by implementing a modified version of the Sercon algorithm), and power management to transition idle servers into a power saving mode. Snooze is a highly modular piece of software. It has been extensively evaluated on the Grid’5000 testbed using realistic applications.
VEP
VEP is a Contrail (http://contrail-project.eu) service that sits just above IaaS layer at the service provider end of the Contrail cloud federation. The VEP service provides a uniform interface for managing the whole lifecycle of elastic applications on the cloud and hides the details of the IaaS layer to the user. VEP applications are described in OVF (Open Virtualization Format) standard format. Resource usage is controlled by CEE (Constrained Execution Environment) rules which can be derived from SLAs (Service Level Agreement). The VEP service integrates a monitoring system where the major events about the application, mainly resource usage, are made available to the user. The VEP service provides a RESTful interface and can be exploited directly by users on top of the provider IaaS. OpenNebula and OpenStack IaaS frameworks were initially supported. During the VEP-S EIT ICT Labs activity in 2014, VEP was extended with a new OCCI IaaS driver which allows to control any IaaS framework providing a standard OCCI API. Support for the new OCCI SLA proposition from OGF has also been added and allows to represent the VEP CEEs in a standard format. Finally, during this activity, the Zabbix open source distributed monitoring system was integrated to VEP.
