SPACE4Cloud: a DevOps environment for multi-cloud applications

Abstract

Cloud computing has been a game changer in the design, development and management of modern applications, which have grown in scope and size becoming distributed and service oriented. New methodologies have emerged to deal with this paradigm shift in software engineering. Consequently, new tools, devoted to ease the convergence between developers and other IT professional, are required. Here, we present SPACE4Cloud, a DevOps integrated environment for model-driven design-time QoS assessment and optimization, and runtime capacity allocation for Cloud applications.
