Abstract

Recently, REpresentational State Transfer (REST) has been proposed as an alternative architecture for Web services.In the era of Cloud and Web 2.0, many complex Web service-based systems such as e-Business an de-Government applications have adopted REST. Unfortunately, the REST approach has been applied to few cases in management systems, especially for a management system for cloud computing infrastructures.In this paper, we design and implement a RESTful Cloud Management System (CMS).Managed elements can be modeled as resources in REST and operations in existing systems can be evaluated using four methods of REST or a combination of them.We also show how components of existing management systems can be realized as REST-style Web services.
