Practical no. 5
Aim:
Case study on Cloud Monitoring and Management
Theory
Cloud Monitoring System:
Cloud Monitoring System (CMS). Cloud monitoring is the
process of reviewing, controlling and managing the operational
workflow and processes within a cloud infrastructure.
It is the use of manual or automated IT monitoring and
management techniques to ensure that a cloud infrastructure or platform
performs optimally.
It is a tool for controlling and managing hardware and software
infrastructures. The cloud monitoring systems provide information of the
platform and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
Essential tasks of CMS are-
1. Capacity and Resource Planning –
2. Capacity and Resource Management-
3. Data center management- Data center management includes two
fundamental tasks as
a. Monitoring- keeping track of desired hardware and software
b. Data analysis- processing of generated metrics so as to perform
provisioning ,troubleshooting or other management actions.
4. SLA Management-
5. Billing -
6. Troubleshooting-

7. Performance management-
8. Security management-
Cloud computing has three different service layers that are offered as
services.
These are
Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service and Software as a
Service. CMS monitors various elements at each layer as mentioned
below:
1) Infrastructure layer: The CMS monitors all physical and virtual
components of cloud such as CPU, memory, disk, virtual
resources, network traffic etc.
2) Platform layer: The CMS monitors various services and platform
(operating system) related metrics like response time, application
startup time, number of process, number of VM , number of
threads and resources per application etc.
3) Application layer: The CMS monitors different metrics which
provide status of service performance and other service specific
information such as average CPU utilization, query latency, CPU
usage and memory usage etc.
