Application Blueprints and Service Description

Abstract

In the context of creating a self-organising and self-managing cloud infrastructure we propose a set of extensions to the existing Service Description Languages (SDLs) and Application Blueprints in order to establish a common ground for the various CloudLightning components. By implementing this SDL and all the missing links one can assure that the CloudLightning system works in such a way that users can easily interact with it. In this chapter we present in detail the design decisions that were made during the development of various components alongside with their formal description.
