OVERVIEW

Present day IT environments are complex, heterogeneous in terms of software & hardware from multiple vendors.

Computing systems have evolved into millions of interconnected devices whose interactions create complex web on increasingly complex architecture.

MOTIVATION

Present day IT environment

Complexity of Information Technology

It is a term coined by IBM .

Principle similar to autonomic nervous system.

Its main aim is to make computer system more self managing and elastic, removing obstacles to growth and flexiblity.

Helps to address complexity by using technology to manage technology

INTRODUCTION

“Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them”- ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD

This quote made by the preeminent mathematician Alfred Whitehead holds both the lock and the key to the next era of computing.

The high-tech industry has spent decades creating computer systems with ever- mounting degrees of complexity to solve a wide variety of business problems.

WHY AUTONOMIC COMPUTING

Ironically, complexity itself has become part of the problem. It’s a problem that's not going away, but will grow exponentially, just as our dependence on technology has

To overcome this problem IBM suggested a solution: build computer systems that regulate themselves much in the same way as our autonomous nervous systems regulates and protects our bodies.

This new model of computing is called autonomic computing

CONTD…..

“Intelligent” systems that:Manage complexityKnow themselvesContinuously tune themselvesAdapt to unpredictable conditionsPrevent and recover from failuresProvide a safe environment

The vision for Autonomic Computing

CHARACTERISTICS

Self-managing systems that deliver

Increased ResponsivenessAdapt to dynamically changing environments

OperationalEfficiencyTune resources and balance workloads to maximize use of IT resources

Business ResiliencyDiscover, diagnose,and act to prevent

disruptions

Secure Information and Resources

Anticipate, detect, identify, and protect

against attacks

SELF-CONFIGURATION

Adapt automatically to thedynamically changingenvironment Internal adaptation

– Add/remove new components– configures itself on the fly

External adaptation-Systems configure themselvesinto a global infrastructure

SELF-HEALING

Discover, diagnose and react to

disruptions without disruptingthe service environment Fault components should be

– detected– Isolated– Fixed– reintegrated

SELF-OPTIMIZATION

Monitor and tune resources

automatically– Support operating inunpredictable

environment– Efficiently maximization

ofresource utilization

withouthuman intervention

Dynamic resource allocationand workload management.

– Resource: Storage, databases,networks

– For example, Dynamic server clustering

SELF-PROTECTION

Anticipate, detect, identify

and protect againstattacks from anywhere

– Defining and managing user

access to all computingresources– Protecting againstunauthorized resourceaccess, e.g. SSL– Detecting intrusions andReporting as they occur

Self-aware System is aware of its internal state.

Context-aware System is aware of its execution environment.

Open System is able to operate in an heterogeneous environment.

Anticipatory System is able to anticipate the optimized resources needed.

LEVELS OF AUTONOMIC MATURITY

BASIC :

IT professionals manage everything by hand.

MANAGED :

Data are collected from the system (via sensors) and selected . The time is reduced.

PREDICTIVE :

Recognition of patterns and suggestion of a solution, the decision is made still by human.

CONTD…

ADAPTIVE :

The system makes and applies the solutions.

IT staff provides policies used for plans and monitors system’s actions.

AUTONOMIC :

Integrated IT components are collectively and dynamically managed by business rules and policies.

CONTD…

ARCHITECTURE

Autonomic element is the fundamental atom of the architecture

It consist of two parts Managed Element Autonomic Manager

Consist of one or more managed elements coupled with a single autonomic manager

A Managed Element can be:

Hardware resource, CPU, database, Application service, etc.

The components and functions of a single autonomic manager often referred to as the "MAPE loop" for Monitor, Analyze, Plan, and Execute, supplemented by a Knowledge base.

CONTD..

Core building blocks for an open architecture

Management using MAPE:– Monitoring managed elements and their external environment– Analyzing the gathered information– Planning and executing based on information

MONITOR

An autonomic manager monitors instrumentation data from multiple sensors in a system.

The sensors "sense" various aspects of the state of the monitored computing system.

This can include aspects of the hardware instrumentation, ambient information ,and aspects of the software components

CONTD…

ANALYZE

This component of the autonomic manager contains the intelligence required to interpret and correlate the above mentioned instrumentation data.

This component usually has the ability to consult historical data and to compare them with current state to detect significant changes.

CONTD…

PLAN Once an analysis report of the situation is completed, the

planning component can define a series of control actions that should bring the system to a normal operating range.

EXECUTE This component receives the series of action steps from the

planning component, and puts the plan into action.

It activates appropriate control points, or effectors, on the managed platform following the proper sequence and timing

CONTD…

KNOWLEDGE BASE

This serves as a repository of knowledge, such as historical data and policies, which can be utilized by the other components in their operation.

CONTD…

Autonomic management

APPLICATIONS

Autonomic System challenges

– Self-configuration in large-scale application

– Problem localization and automated remediation

– Decision making of coordination of optimizing process

– Self-protecting against active threats specific types of threats

−Needs for a abstraction and co-operation in relevant fields

CHALLENGES

Autonomic computing is:

Solution of today’s increasing complexity in computing science.

Self-Management and dynamic adaptive behaviors

“The new economics requires that systems be

autonomic: autoinstalling, automanaging,

autohealing, and autoprogramming.”
