Composite Cloud Application Patterns
Abstract
This chapter contains patterns that compose patterns covered in previous sections to describe cloud applications. Furthermore, it describes possible distribution scenarios of the composed patterns among different cloud environments forming a hybrid cloud (67) (Fig. 6.1).
Nowadays, web services have to accommodate a significant and ever-increasing number of requests due to high interactivity of current applications. Although the built-in elasticity offered by a cloud can mitigate this challenge, it is highly desirable that applications can be built in a scalable fashion. State-of-the-art Web Application Frameworks (WAFs) focus on the creation of application logic and do not offer integrated cloud scaling concepts. As the creation of such scaling systems is very complex, we proposed in our recent work the concept of Web Scaling Frameworks (WSFs) in order to offload scaling to another layer of abstraction. In this work, a detailed design for WSFs including necessary modules, interfaces and components is presented. A mathematical model used for performance rating is evaluated and enhanced on a computing cluster of 42 machines. Traffic traces from over 25 million real-world applications are analysed and evaluated on the cluster to compare the WSF performance with a traditional scaling approach. The results show that the application of WSFs can substantially reduce the number of total machines needed for three representative real-world applications - a social network, a trip planner and the FIFA World Cup 98 website - by 32%, 63% and 92%, respectively.
Comprising more than 61,000 servers located across nearly 1,000 networks in 70 countries worldwide, the Akamai platform delivers hundreds of billions of Internet interactions daily, helping thousands of enterprises boost the performance and reliability of their Internet applications. In this paper, we give an overview of the components and capabilities of this large-scale distributed computing platform, and offer some insight into its architecture, design principles, operation, and management.
Smart Cities werden weltweit diskutiert. Mit Hilfe neuer Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien sollen Beiträge zur Lösung gegenwärtiger und zukünftiger gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen der Städte geleistet werden. In dem Buch wird gezeigt, wie in einer Public Private Partnership zwischen der Deutschen Telekom und der Stadt Friedrichshafen über fünf Jahre konkret an einer Smart City gearbeitet wurde. Das Projektziel war, die Lebensqualität der Bürger zu verbessern, die Standortqualität der Unternehmen zu steigern und die Vernetzung in der Stadtgesellschaft insgesamt zu erhöhen. Über fünf Jahre wurde die Idee in die Praxis umgesetzt und wissenschaftlich begleitet. Die Autoren zeigen, welche Wirkungen und welchen Nutzen das Projekt hatte. Damit wird ein konkreter Beitrag zur weltweiten Debatte über Smart Cities geleistet.
Principles of Transaction Processing is a clear, concise guide for anyone involved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems, or engineering products. This book provides an understanding of the internals of transaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them. It includes the architecture of Web Application Servers, transactional communications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction and system failures.The use of transaction processing systems has changed in the years since publication of the first edition. Electronic commerce has become a major focus for business data processing investments, from banking and stock purchase on the web, to eBay auctions, to corporate database management. New standards, new technology and products, and new languages allow web services and SOA to become the leading style of design for enterprise applications. And with the help of this book and its rich examples, you will be able to produce the state-of-the-art applications discussed within. For more information check out Eric Newcomer's blog:http://ericnewcomer.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/what-we-learned-writing-the-second-edition-of-the-tp-book/ Complete revision of the classic "non mathematical" transaction processing reference for systems professionals. Updated to focus on the needs of transaction processing via the Internet-- the main focus of business data processing investments, via web application servers, SOA, and important new TP standards. Retains the practical, non-mathematical, but thorough conceptual basis of the first edition.
