12. Introducing the SOCCI Framework
8 December 2011
Introducing the SOCCI Framework
Infrastructure has been traditionally provisioned in a physical manner. With the evolution of virtualization technologies and application of service-orientation to infrastructure, it can now be offered as a service.
SOCCI is the realization of an enabling framework of service- oriented components for infrastructure to be provided as a service in the cloud.

The (virtualized) infrastructure constitutes all infrastructure elements needed on the cloud service provider side, which are needed to provide cloud services. This includes facilities, server, storage, and network resources, how these resources are wired up, placed within a data center, etc. In case of virtualization this also includes the virtualization such as hypervisors. It does not include any virtualization management software (as that is part of the virtualization management component of the OSS).
The decision whether the infrastructure is virtualized or not depends on the actual workload characteristics to be run on the respective infrastructures: For many workloads (e.g. compute & storage as-a-Service) it is very convenient to virtualize the underlying infrastructure, especially since virtualization enables some use cases which can basically not be realized with a physical infrastructure (e.g. all use case related to image management or dynamic scaling of CPU capacity as needed). For other workloads (e.g. analytics/search) it is required to have maximum compute capacity and use 100’s or 1000’s of nodes to run a single specialized workload. In such cases a non-virtualized infrastructure is more appropriate. This is not a violation of the architectural principles postulating as much as possible commonality across cloud services: While maximum commonality is a core architectural principle, it is allowed to have different infrastructure architecture per workload category. For example, a collaboration, web and infrastructure workload requires a different underlying infrastructure than an HPC or highly transactional workload. However, a requirement in any case is that all of these infrastructures get managed from a single, central CCMP and CCMP has the ability to place instances of each cloud services on the corresponding infrastructure (or IaaS service instance, in case a SaaS instance is not directly running on an infrastructure but leverages a IaaS cloud service as an alternative sourcing model).
The more homogeneous the infrastructure is, the more it caters the standardization needs of a cloud environment. Homogeneity on the infrastructure side is critical for enabling the high degrees of automation and economies of scale which are base characteristics of any cloud environment. However, it has to be acknowledged that in many cloud deployments (specifically private clouds) there are different workloads to be provided as a cloud service and each of these workloads might have special infrastructure needs. So although the ideal case is total homogeneity on the infrastructure side, it is important to note that there will cloud installations with a few variants in the infrastructure elements (e.g. different HW platforms).
The infrastructure is managed by the OSS as part of the CCMP, whereas the CCMP by itself is also running on the infrastructure.
Note: The physical existence of a virtualized infrastructure on the cloud service provider side is not mandatory, since it is also possible for a cloud service provider to consume infrastructure as a service (and the required CCMP) from a different cloud service provider and put higher value cloud services on top.
