A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE ON AUTONOMIC COMPUTING IN CLOUD

With the development of the internet, processing and storage technologies, computing resources have become cheaper, more powerful and available 24X7 everywhere. Cloud computing has now established itself as a preferred paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the internet. It allows consumers to start from the small and increase resources when there is a rise in service demand, eliminating the requirement to plan ahead for provisioning. One of the key challenges of cloud computing is the need for an automated and an integrated rational approach for dynamic provisioning of resources. This will allow the cloud to offer services that are reliable, cost-efficient and secure. In this context, autonomic computing promises to be a new concept for increasing reliability, autonomy and performance by enabling systems to adapt to changing circumstances. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the type of system architecture required to support above told objectives in cloud computing.
