A GENERIC DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT FRAMEWORK FOR CLOUD COMPUTING AND DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS

摘要

Cloud computing has paved the way for advance of IT-based on demand services. This technology helps decrease capital expenditure and operation costs, solve scalability issue and many more user and provider constraints. However, development and deployment of distributed applications on cloud environment becomes a more and more complex task. Cloud users must spend a lot of time to prepare, install and configure their applications on clouds. In addition, after development and deployment, the applications almost cannot move from one cloud to another due to the lack of interoperability between them. To address these problems, in this paper we present a novel development and deployment framework for cloud distributed applications/services. Our approach is based on abstraction and object-oriented programming technique, allowing users to easily and rapidly develop and deploy their services into cloud environment. The approach also enables service migration and interoperability among the clouds.
