How it works
A multicloud application’s (re-)deployment is realised by executing a deployment process. This process includes the following sequence of activities presented below:
Step 1
The user describes the mixed application via the CAMEL language, including requirements for both normal and serverless components.
Step 2
The initial deployment plan for the application is calculated by executing components of the platform’s Upperware module. – The CP Generator conducts application profiling and finally produces a CP (constraint optimisation problem) model, which imprints the deployment alternatives for all application components. – The Metasolver (especially the constraint solvers that it incorporates and manages) performs deployment reasoning over the CP model.
Step 3
The deployment is executed across multiple clouds based on the initial deployment plan calculated.
Step 4
After its deployment, the application is monitored by the Event Processing subsystem.
Step 5
Based on gathered and aggregated metric measurements, the application adaptation at runtime will be performed.
Step 6
The runtime application reconfiguration will be run, based on the new deployment plan generated, again via the Adapter and Cloudiator components.
