Abstract

The differences between Grids and Clouds arguably include objectives, organization, scale, and workload. By examining these characteristics and requirements in detail, we assess the degree to which a generic management infrastructure for Grid computing can be applied to Cloud infrastructures. Our analysis is further refined by considering a specific management system, Willow, which we have recently successfully applied to Grid management. Three distinct architectures are evaluated: wholly within the datacenter transparent to users; completely within the user software stack and transparent to the Cloud provider; and, a hybrid in which the system is known to both the provider and the users.
