Virtual environment deployment and runtime management system for service grid
Li Qin · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2007
The latest development of virtual machine technology provides a new approach to integrate resources in grid environment.Its encapsulation,isolation and security can shield resource heterogeneousness,enable application specific execution environment,and provide better adaptability to the environment complexity and application diversity.To meet grid computing's current requirement,based on advanced virtualization technology,a service grid oriented system for virtual execution environment deployment and runtime management is proposed.A visible and easily manipulative approach is offered to deploy and manage a remote virtual environment,and a standard gird service is implemented so that virtual environments can be automatically deployed and managed according to application requirement,and user jobs can then be executed adaptively according to resource states.Having integrated with service grid platform CROWN,dynamic environment creation and job execution can be transparent to user.Analysis of experimental results show the feasibility and executing performance of this approach.
