With the wide adoption of cloud computing across technology industries and research institutions, an ever-growing interest in cloud orchestration frameworks has emerged over the past few years. These orchestration frameworks enable the automated provisioning and decommissioning of cloud applications in a timely and efficient manner, but they offer limited or no support for application management. While management functionalities, such as configuring, monitoring and scaling single components, can be directly covered by cloud providers and configuration management tools, holistic management features, such as backing up, testing and updating multiple components, cannot be automated using these approaches. In this paper, we propose a concept to automatically generate executable holistic management workflows based on the TOSCA standard. The practical feasibility of the approach is validated through a prototype implementation and a case study.
随着云计算在技术行业和研究机构中的广泛应用，在过去几年中，人们对云编排框架的兴趣与日俱增。这些编排框架能够及时、高效地自动配置和停用云应用程序，但它们对应用程序管理的支持有限或根本没有支持。虽然诸如配置、监控和扩展单个组件等管理功能可以由云提供商和配置管理工具直接涵盖，但诸如备份、测试和更新多个组件等整体管理功能无法通过这些方法实现自动化。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于TOSCA标准自动生成可执行的整体管理工作流的概念。通过原型实现和案例研究验证了该方法的实际可行性。
