Cloud providers offer services at different levels of abstraction from infrastructure to applications. The quality of Cloud services is a key determinant of the overall service level a provider offers to its customers. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are (1) crucial for Cloud customers to ensure that promised levels of services are met, (2) an important sales instrument and (3) a differentiating factor for providers. Cloud providers and services are often selected more dynamically than in traditional IT services, and as a result, SLAs need to be set up and their monitoring implemented to match the same speed. In this context, managing SLAs is complex: different Cloud providers expose different management interfaces and SLA metrics differ from one provider to another. In this paper, we will analyze how IT service quality has been defined and managed over time, discuss how to manage SLAs in today’s multi-layer, multi-sourced Cloud environments, and what to expect going forward. A particular focus will be made on the rSLA framework that enables fast setup of SLA monitoring in dynamic and heterogeneous Cloud environments. The rSLA framework is made up of three main components: the rSLA language to formally represent SLAs, the rSLA Service, which interprets the SLAs and implements the behavior specified in them, and a set of Xlets-lightweight, dynamically bound adapters to monitoring and controlling interfaces. rSLA has been tested in the context of a real pilot and found to reduce the client on-boarding process from months to weeks.

rSLA:一种在云环境中管理服务水平协议的方法

云提供商提供从基础架构到应用程序的不同抽象级别的服务。云服务的质量是提供商向其客户提供的整体服务水平的关键决定因素。服务水平协议 (SLA) 对云客户至关重要,可确保满足承诺的服务水平,(2) 重要的销售工具,以及 (3) 供应商的差异化因素。与传统 IT 服务相比,云提供商和服务的选择通常更加动态,因此,需要设置 SLA 并实施其监控以匹配相同的速度。在这种情况下,管理 SLA 很复杂:不同的云提供商公开不同的管理界面,并且 SLA 指标因提供商而异。在本文中,我们将分析 IT 服务质量随着时间的推移是如何定义和管理的,讨论如何在当今的多层、多源云环境中管理 SLA,以及未来的预期。将特别关注 rSLA 框架,该框架支持在动态和异构云环境中快速设置 SLA 监控。rSLA 框架由三个主要组件组成:正式表示 SLA 的 rSLA 语言、解释 SLA 并实现其中指定的行为的 rSLA 服务,以及一组用于监视和控制的轻量级 Xlets 动态绑定适配器接口。rSLA 已在真实试点环境中进行了测试,发现可以将客户入职流程从数月缩短至数周。以及未来的预期。将特别关注 rSLA 框架,该框架支持在动态和异构云环境中快速设置 SLA 监控。rSLA 框架由三个主要组件组成:正式表示 SLA 的 rSLA 语言、解释 SLA 并实现其中指定的行为的 rSLA 服务,以及一组用于监视和控制的轻量级 Xlets 动态绑定适配器接口。rSLA 已在真实试点环境中进行了测试,发现可以将客户入职流程从数月缩短至数周。以及未来的预期。将特别关注 rSLA 框架,该框架支持在动态和异构云环境中快速设置 SLA 监控。rSLA 框架由三个主要组件组成:正式表示 SLA 的 rSLA 语言、解释 SLA 并实现其中指定的行为的 rSLA 服务,以及一组用于监视和控制的轻量级 Xlets 动态绑定适配器接口。rSLA 已在真实试点环境中进行了测试,发现可以将客户入职流程从数月缩短至数周。用于正式表示 SLA 的 rSLA 语言、解释 SLA 并实现其中指定的行为的 rSLA 服务,以及一组用于监视和控制接口的 Xlets 轻量级、动态绑定的适配器。rSLA 已在真实试点环境中进行了测试,发现可以将客户入职流程从数月缩短至数周。用于正式表示 SLA 的 rSLA 语言、解释 SLA 并实现其中指定的行为的 rSLA 服务,以及一组用于监视和控制接口的 Xlets 轻量级、动态绑定的适配器。rSLA 已在真实试点环境中进行了测试,发现可以将客户入职流程从数月缩短至数周。
