Manually installing and configuring applications in the cloud simply isn’t an option anymore. Configuration management automation solves the issue of getting a single application into a certain state automatically and reliably. However, the issue of automatic dependency management between multiple applications is still an “open, hard problem” according to researchers at Google. Agent-based modeling and orchestration tools like Juju solve the issue of getting from zero to a working set of correctly clustered and connected frameworks. The shortcomings of these state-of-the-art tools are that they don’t provide efficient ways to model and orchestrate workloads running on top of these frameworks. This paper presents a number of ways to deploy and orchestrate workloads with Juju, compares their performance and overhead, and suggests how this overhead can be minimized. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01806071/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01806071/file/452969_1_En_16_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01806071 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01806071 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-AIMS %~ IFIP-WG6-6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-10356
