MANAGING APPLICATION, MIDDLEWARE, AND VIRTUAL MECHANISM DENSITY IN A CLOUD

摘要

A method, system, and/or computer program product configures hierarchical cloud resources. A supervisor server receives a signal indicating a boundary of a set of hierarchical cloud resources. The boundary describes a level of resource sharing among the set of hierarchical cloud resources, which includes a set of software applications, a set of middleware that supports one or more software applications from the set of software applications, and a set of virtual mechanisms that supports one or more middleware from the set of middleware. The supervisor server receives a signal from one or more Isolation/Density (I/D) switches, which are associated with one or more software applications from the set of software applications and one or more middleware from the set of the middleware, and then configures the hierarchical cloud resources, according to the boundary of the set of hierarchical cloud resources, and according to settings of the I/D switches.

1. A method of configuring hierarchical cloud resources, the method comprising:
receiving, by a supervisor server, a signal indicating a boundary of a set of hierarchical cloud resources, wherein the boundary describes a level of resource sharing among the set of hierarchical cloud resources, wherein the set of hierarchical cloud resources comprises a set of software applications, a set of middleware that supports one or more software applications from the set of software applications, and a set of virtual mechanisms that supports one or more middleware from the set of middleware; receiving, by the supervisor server, a signal from one or more Isolation/Density (I/D) switches, wherein the one or more I/D switches are associated with one or more software applications from the set of software applications and one or more middleware from the set of the middleware; and configuring, by the supervisor server, the hierarchical cloud resources according to the boundary of the set of hierarchical cloud resources and according to settings of said one or more I/D switches, wherein an application I/D switch from a specific software application controls whether or not a particular middleware is reserved for an exclusive use by the specific software application, and wherein a middleware I/D switch from a specific middleware controls whether or not a particular virtual mechanism is reserved for an exclusive use by the specific middleware.
