Inside the name

SeaClouds (Seamless adaptive multi-cloud management of service-based applications) is an EU-funded research project, which focuses on the problem of deploying and managing complex multi-component applications over heterogeneous clouds in an ecient and adaptive way. SeaClouds allows developers to design, deploy, manage and configure complex applications across multiple and heterogeneous clouds, something unfeasible hitherto.

What is SeaClouds?

• SeaClouds is a software platform which makes more ecient the design, development, planning and management of complex business applications distributed on multi-cloud environments.
• SeaClouds provides an enterprise capability with continuous software delivery that enables independent application vendors to mitigate risks and reduce time and cost to market and customer feedback.
• SeaClouds orchestrates services, platforms and infrastructures to ensure they directly and dynamically, meet the needs of cloud applications.

SeaClouds Capabilities

Matchmaking

Allows querying or browsing available cloud oerings (PaaS and IaaS) determining suitable ones based on application requirements.

Cloud Service Optimizer

Optimizes the deployment topology of an application across multiple clouds to address non-functional requirements.

Application Management

Supports efficient deployment and multi-cloud governance of a complex application various cloud ooferings (IaaS and PaaS) leveraging cloud harmonized APIs and platform-specific adapters.

Monitoring and SLA enforcement

Provides monitoring and independent metrics to allow operators to monitor the health and performance of applications, hosted across multiple Clouds.

Repairing

Scales horizontally and vertically cloud resources to maximize the performance of each module of an application

Replanning and Application migration

Provides a seamless migration of the application modules between dissimilar (but compatible) clouds, allowing the portability of an application.
