A Semantically Rich Framework to AutomateCloud Service Level Agreements

https://github.com/DivyaNat26/

Consumers evaluate and choose cloud-based services based on Service Level Agreements (SLA). These agreements list the service terms and metrics to be agreed upon by the service providers and the customers. Current cloud SLAs are long text documents that require significant manual effort to parse and determine if providers meet the SLAs. Moreover, due to the lack of standardization, providers differ in the way they define the terms and metrics, making it more difficult to compare different provider SLAs. We have developed a novel framework to significantly automate the process of extracting knowledge embedded in cloud SLAsand representing it in a semantically rich ontology so that the user can make a calculated decision in choosing a provider. Our framework captures the key terms, measures, and deontic rules, in the form of obligations and permissions present in the cloud SLAs.In this paper, we discuss our framework, technique, and challenges in automating cloud services management. We also describe our results and their validation against standards
