Abstract :
The complexity of Cloud infrastructures is increasing every year, requiring new concepts and tools to face off topics such as process configuration and reconfiguration, automatic scaling, elastic computing and healthiness control. This paper presents a Smart Cloud solution based on a Knowledge Base, KB, with the aim of modeling cloud resources, Service Level Agreements and their evolution, while enabling the reasoning on cloud structures and implementing strategies of efficient smart cloud management and intelligence. The solution proposed is composed of Smart Cloud Engine, SCE, the Knowledge Base, KB, and the Supervisor and Monitoring module for data acquisition. It can be easily integrated with any cloud configuration manager, cloud orchestra or, and monitoring tool, since the connections with these tools are performed by using REST calls and XML files.
