Model-Based Application Deployment on Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing refers to a set of technologies and systems that provide various types of resources (computing, storage, software, etc.) on demand, through the Internet or Intranet. Thanks to these advantages many Cloud providers are available and is increasing. These cloud providers offer different PaaS platforms that must each be configured in its own appropriate way to deploy applications in the cloud. Cloud Computing is based on heterogeneity principles, which allows many configurations and sizing choices. This implies that the developer must master all deployment methods in order to benefit from all suppliers. The development and deployment of applications in the Cloud offers a new scientific challenge in terms of expression and taking into account variability. The purpose of the author's work is to propose a deployment method and implement it to automate the process of deploying applications in a cloud environment based on model-driven engineering, to configure and provision applications to be deployed in the cloud.
