Abstract
|
Content Delivery Networks must adapt their configuration
continuously to maintain acceptable performance in the presence of
large variations in their request load characteristics. To automate
and systematize these necessary continuous adaptations, we propose
to structure a CDN along a grid service-oriented architecture. Two
techniques can be used to simplify the development and maintenance
of such a system: first, present a group of machines offering a
given service as a single stable node, even though the concerned
servers may be located worldwide and the membership change often;
second, modeling the performance of internal elements of a web
service allows to make informed decisions on the dimensioning of the
platform to host it. We expect that these two techniques will allow
us to build services that continuously adapt their capacity to the
demand that they are facing.
