dc.description.abstractCloud computing is a flexible platform that offers faster innovation, elastic resources, and economies of scale. However, it is challenging to ensure non-functional properties such as performance, cost and security of applications hosted in cloud. Applications should be adaptive to the fluctuating workload to meet the desired performance goals, in one hand, and on the other, operate in an economic manner to reduce the operational cost. Moreover, cloud applications are attractive target of security threats such as distributed denial of service attacks that target the availability of applications and increase the cost. Given such circumstances, it is vital to engineer applications that are able to self-adapt to such volatile conditions. In this thesis, we investigate techniques and mechanisms to engineer model-based application autonomic management systems that strive to meet performance, cost and security objectives of software systems running in cloud. In addition to using the elasticity feature of cloud, our proposed autonomic management systems employ run-time network adaptations using the emerging software defined networking and network function virtualization. We propose a novel approach to self-protecting applications where the application traffic is dynamically managed between public and private cloud depending on the condition of the traffic. Our management approach is able to adapt the bandwidth rates of application traffic to meet performance and cost objectives. Through run-time performance models as well as optimization, the management system maximizes the profit each time the application requires to adapt. Our autonomous management solutions are implemented and evaluated analytically as well as on multiple public and community clouds to demonstrate their applicability and effectiveness in real world environment.
