Abstract
The ever-increasing number of customers that have been using cloud computing environments is driving
heterogeneity in the cloud infrastructures. The incorporation of heterogeneous resources to traditional
homogeneous infrastructures is supported by specific resource managers cohabiting with traditional resource managers. This blend of resource managers raises interoperability issues in the Cloud management
domain as customer services are exposed to disjoint mechanisms and incompatibilities between APIs and
interfaces. In addition, deploying and configuring HPC workloads in such environments makes porting
HPC applications, from traditional cluster environments to the Cloud, complex and ineffectual.
Many efforts have been taken to create solutions and standards for ameliorating interoperability issues
in inter-cloud and multi-cloud environments and parallels exist between these efforts and the current
drive for the adoption of heterogeneity in the Cloud. The work described in this paper attempts to exploit
these parallels; managing interoperability issues in Cloud from a unified perspective. In this paper the
mOSAIC ontology, pillar of the IEEE 2302 — Standard for Intercloud Interoperability and Federation,
is extended towards creating the CloudLightning Ontology (CL-Ontology), in which the incorporation
of heterogeneous resources and HPC environments in the Cloud are considered. To support the CLOntology, a generic architecture is presented as a driver to manage heterogeneity in the Cloud and,
as a use case example of the proposed architecture, the internal architecture of the CloudLightning
system is redesigned and presented to show the feasibility of incorporating a semantic engine to alleviate
interoperability issues to facilitate the incorporation of HPC in Cloud.
