FIRE RoadmapBonFIRE: Federated Clouds
Challenge:
Today, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers describe their infrastructure offerings in different and limited ways. Given heterogeneous and incomplete information about expected resource behaviour, how can consumers know what resources they will need to execute their application, especially when a particular quality of service (QoS) is required? If the application is already adapted for the IaaS provider’s system then it may be possible to just try the application out and measure its performance, scaling the deployment as required. But what if the application is not yet adapted, or what if you want to choose between several IaaS providers?

BonFIRE: Building service testbeds for Future Internet Research and Experimentation
The BonFIRE project will develop three experiments that will act as the driving force for the facility requirements, development and operations, especially in the early stages of the project. The experiments pose state-of-the-art research challenges in cloud computing and will help to ensure the BonFIRE facility remains state-of-the-art and applicable to the challenges facing researchers. The experiments will also be used to promote best practice usage of the facility and provide early success stories that offer a blueprint for experiments funded in the open call. These experiments are:
- Dynamic Service Landscape Orchestration for Internet of Services
- QoS-Oriented Service Engineering for Federated Clouds
- Elasticity Requirement for Cloud Based Applications
