Cloudization of the HomeBox

1. active probing is just one of many services available at network edge◦ mobile clouds, hybrid clouds, client-side storage, and the recent fog computing

2. implemented as a cloud, the box reaches a reasonable limit of flexibility3. cloud-at-home with VMs/apps visiting over is neat idea in itself

The Bigger (solved) Problems

1. finally make federated clouds a reality -- many users lined up 04

2. migration in heterogeneous environments -- environment sensing 05

3. more cloud at edges will help improve regional diversity of distributedresources 03

Application Specifics

• the three traditional tiers

• multitenancy isoptional, can work withVMs directly

• each tier/level has itsspecific purpose (→next slides)

Fairness



• accounting/billing, accessfairness, are the mainperformance targets

• generic API to allow forunique hardware environments

• ideally, a guy should be ableto install it at home (I use a USB

installer for my tests)

• I currently use a modifiedversion of dokku 09 but thereare other choices

• resilience is key,containers/slugs/... arehard to debug or manageat runtime

Fairness



• just normal VMs orapps

• use of APIs/Interfaces isoptional, traditionalapps will work as well

• NOTE: can bypasscontainers and haveVMs visiting over◦ grey boxes, etc. for

lighter migration bulk 05

CVP: Pull vs Push Deployment


12/16

.

CVP: The PULL Deploy


App App App …

Pull-Based Installation (of Apps)

End User

Device Provider 3rd Party

Service

Local services

One Cloud

• better fir for physicalboxes where there is aprovider

• CVP sends regularrequests and pulls/installs apps on demand

• highly secure becauseprovider makes the box --closed network


13/16

.

CVP: The PUSH Deploy


App App App …

Cloud/device Owner

3rd Party Service Federated

Clouds

Local services

Federated Cloud

Manager

• suitable for federatedclouds where 3-partytransactions are common

• VMs/apps are pushed

• still can be secure if eachcloud exposes an isolatedpart of its infrastructure

.

Wrapup

• Cloud Visitation Platform is not a great but a very handy idea◦ not aware of any such platforms in existence today◦ in fact, the blackbox approach conflicts with the concept of visitation

• not hard to build but takes some work

• my current prototype (fully operational)

1. XCP 1.6 -- based on CentOS, use yum to enhance each XCP machine2. dokku for containers3. self-developed VM migration automation
