@dlr5288  as Co.  trying to relay on it with out anything else as back up in place as seconday system - try to overlook this problem, with hope to save money... but at the end they end paying one way or other...

Re: The Cloud
Yes, exaclty!

For me personally, it just seems like such a big liability. I also feel like companies rely on it a little too much. When the security is as shaky as it is with the cloud, I don't think it's the best idea to fully count on it.

"Users can also expect greater functional testing scenarios coverage, and improved installation support and documentation."

As a former software tester and developer this is great to hear. New technology is great but if it is not documented there will be a lag in troubleshooting user problems. Also, you can never test too much. I always got into arguments with management asking for more time to test products but they were more concerned with pushing products to market.

Re: The Cloud
@dlr5288, I agree. Companies expect the cloud to solve all their problems and it does not.

The Cloud
Every time the cloud is involved it makes me worried. The cloud has become such a huge thing in the past couple years and it's nice to know that cloud computing is being worked on. However, whenever dealing with the cloud you're also dealing with the risk of leaking information, just because the cloud can be somewhat easy to hack in to.

Yes, Doctor gives users the flexibility to dynamically reprogram policies. As for redoing the whole database, it is a scenario that is not applicable -- as the intent is to detect failures and notify fast, keeping monitoring data for long periods is not of essence. Thus, in this context, there's no need to depend on such database possibly holding millions of past records for later use.

Sadly, I won't be able to be there, and here's another reason to be sad about it.  But it sounds like you're already working on exactly the issue I asked about, so that better supporting explanation is already on the way.  Good going, again!

Re: If I'm understanding this correctly the basic structure is hub and spoke ...
Carlos, that's a great solution made much better by the ability of individual organizations to decide the exact structure of reporting and control they want at each level, rather than trying to write a "correct" version for them ahead of time (the bane of any software buyer: the supplier who decided what would be "right" and imposed it).  I assume it is also possible for users to change their minds more or less on the fly, so that if it becomes clear that higher levels don't need some information, or that they do, they can begin or stop recording data in those categories without having to redo the whole database?

Re: 1 whole second
Theoretically and technically, n+1 is also possible. However, the fast notification feature in Doctor provides the upper layer management a mean to switch to a standby VNF as soon as it receives such fault notification. Now, a sub-second switchover is possible if the standby is a hot-standby. The upper layer management can then just switch to the hot-standby, and provided that Doctor sends a fast enough fault notification, the switchover can be completed in sub-second order. Assuming the standby in an n+1 redundancy scheme is a common standby node and not in hot-standby, fast notification from Doctor will not guarantee a sub-second level recovery. Well, that won't be Doctor's fault though :)

John, you made a very good point!

Not everything needs to be reported to upper layer management entities. What could be locally repaired (e.g. a fan or RAID disk failure) can be locally repaired. The objective is to reduce the service downtime to zero.  In the Doctor architecture, we have the Inspector module where an Operator can flexibly define what kind of fault it wants the VIM (e.g. OpenStack) to report to upper layer managements. It should be flexible and programmable to be able to reflect Operators policy.

We also need to consider the fact that in certain redundancy configurations, e.g. 1+1 ACT-SBY, local repairing may violate the ACT-SBY interdependency. Migration, re-instantiation, etc. type of recovery should not be performed without notifying the upper layer management. That's what Doctor tries to achieve. Based on the policy defined in the Inspector module, Doctor notifies the upper layer management about a fault so that the upper layer management can take necessary action, e.g., switch to the standby instance.
