Title
Resource Usage Monitoring in Clouds
Abstract
Monitoring of infrastructural resources in clouds plays a crucial role in providing application guarantees like performance, availability, and security. Monitoring is crucial from two perspectives - the cloud-user and the service provider. The cloud user's interest is in doing an analysis to arrive at appropriate Service-level agreement (SLA) demands and thecloud provider's interest is to assess if the demand can be met. To support this, a monitoring framework is necessary particularly since cloud hosts are subject to varying load conditions. To illustrate the importance of such a framework, we choose the example of performance being the Quality of Service (QoS) requirement and show how inappropriate provisioning of resources may lead to unexpected performance bottlenecks. We evaluate existing monitoring frameworks to bring out the motivation for buildingmuch more powerful monitoring frameworks. We then propose a distributed monitoring framework, which enables ï¬ne grained monitoring for applications and demonstrate with a prototype system implementation for typical use cases.
