IBM Pure Application System (IPAS) provides integrated scalable hardware and software to manage workloads on the cloud. In a cloud environment the ultimate unit of workload is an image that consists of an operating system, software stack and applications. But having the deployable unit as an image has its downsides. With growing needs in a large organization, the images will gradually be duplicated and this can lead to explosion of similar images with only slight variations. Further deployed cloud workloads must be easily updatable, scalable and be monitored. In order to address these issues, IPAS captures the workload in special reusable packages called Virtual Application Pattern (VAP) and Virtual System Pattern (VSP) which not only abstracts and encapsulates the images, but also provides expert knowledge to tailor the workload based on user requirements. The VSP deployment model is infrastructure and middleware centric model, where user deploys a middleware with required components on the system. The VAP deployment model is an application centric model, where user deploys required applications and defines service level agreement (SLA) policies that manage the application. |
