a b s t r a c tThe process of deploying a distributed system in a network of machines is often very complex, laborious and time-consuming, while it is hard to guarantee that the system will work as expected and that specific non-functional deployment requirements from the domain are supported. In this paper we describe the Disnix toolset, which provides system administrators or developers with automatic deployment of a distributed system in a network of machines from declarative specifications and offers properties such as complete dependencies, atomic upgrades and rollbacks to make this process efficient and reliable. Disnix has an extensible architecture, allowing the integration of custom modules to make the deployment more convenient and suitable for the domain in which the system is to be used. Disnix has been under development for almost four years and has been applied to several types of distributed systems, including an industrial case study.

Abstract-Deployment of a service-oriented system in a network of machines is often complex and labourious. In many cases components implementing a service have to be built from source code for the right target platform, transferred to the right machines with the right capabilities and activated in the right order. Upgrading a running system is even more difficult as this may break the running system and cannot be performed atomically. Many approaches that deal with the complexity of a distributed deployment process only support certain types of components or specific environments, while general solutions lack certain desirable non-functional properties, such as atomic upgrading. This paper shows Disnix, a deployment tool which allows developers and administrators to reliably deploy, upgrade and roll back a service-oriented system consisting of various types of components in a heterogeneous environment from declarative specifications.

“…Figure 2 presents a more elaborate architecture [60,61] for representing a GCE that integrates many necessary Grid Services and can be viewed as a basis for many Grid portal activities. We emphasize that special attention must be placed on deployment and administrative services, which are almost always ignored in common portal activities [57].…”

Commodity Grid Kits – Middleware for Building Grid Computing Environments

Recent Grid projects, such as the Globus Project, provide a set of useful services such as authentication and remote access to resources, and information services to discover and query such remote resources. Unfortunately, these services may not be compatible with the commodity technologies used for application development by the software engineers and scientists. Instead, users may prefer accessing the Grid from a higher level of abstraction than what such toolkits provide. To bridge this gap, Commodity Grid (CoG) Kits provide the middleware for accessing the functionality of the Grid from a variety of commodity technologies, frameworks, and languages. It is important to recognize that these Commodity Grid Kits not only provide an interface to existing Grid technologies, but also bring Grid programming to a new level by leveraging the methodologies of the chosen commodity technology, thus helping the development of the next generation of Grid services. Based on these Commodity Grid Toolkits, a variety of higher level Grid services are far easier to design, maintain, and deploy. Several projects have successfully demonstrated the use of Commodity Grid Kits for the design of advanced Grid Services and Grid Computing Environments.
