-Aggregating multiple identical building blocks of facility infrastructure and equipment
-Support scalability, growth, hardware replacement
-Modularity and standardization reducing investment and operational costs
-Consolidated IT resources can serve different systems and be shared among different cloud consumers.
Automation 自动化
Data centers have specialized platforms
-Automate provisioning, configuration, patching(打补丁), and monitoring without supervision(监管)
-Advances in data center management platforms and tools leverage(利用) autonomic computing technologies to enable self-configuration and self-recovery.
Remote Operation and Management远程操作和管理
Most of the operational and administrative tasks of IT resources in data centers are commanded through the network’s remote consoles and management systems.
Technical personnel are not required to visit the dedicated rooms that house servers, except to perform highly specific tasks, such as equipment handling and cabling or hardware-level installation and maintenance.
High Availability 高可用性
Since any form of data center outage significantly impacts business continuity for the organizations that use their services
data centers are designed to operate with increasingly higher levels of redundancy to sustain(维持) availability.
-Data centers usually have redundant, uninterruptable power supplies, cabling, and environmental control subsystems in anticipation of system failure, along with communication links and clustered hardware for load balancing.
Security-Aware Design, Operation And Management安全感知设计、操作和管理
Since centralized structures that store and process business data
Requirements for security (thorough & comprehensive ) 彻底和全面

Most types of IT resources can be virtualized
-Servers, Storage, Network, Power
Virtualization software create new virtual server
-allocation of physical IT resources
-install operating system(guest operating systems)
Unaware of the virtualization process
Host or physical host 主机或物理主机
-Virtualization software runs on a physical server
virtual machine management虚拟机管理器
-Virtualization software runs on a physical server called a host or physical host, whose underlying hardware is made accessible by the virtualization software.

Hardware Independence 硬件无关性
Server Consolidation 服务器整合
Resource Replication 资源复制
Operating System-Based Virtualization基于操作系统虚拟化
Hardware-Based Virtualization基于硬件虚拟化
Virtualization Management 虚拟化管理
Hardware Independence 硬件无关性
Software-hardware dependencies (原因)
-In a non-virtualized environment, the operating system is configured for specific hardware models and requires reconfiguration if these IT resources need to be modified
Virtualization → hardware independence(结果)
-translates IT hardware into emulated and standardized software-based copies.
-virtual servers can easily be moved to another virtualization host, automatically resolving multiple hardware-software incompatibility issues.
As a result, cloning and manipulating(控制) virtual IT resources is much easier than duplicating(复制) physical hardware.
Server Consolidation 服务器整合
Coordination function of virtualization software
-multiple virtual servers to be simultaneously created in the same virtualization host
server consolidation服务器整合
-Virtualization technology enables different virtual servers to share one physical server
-increase hardware utilization, load balancing, and optimization of available IT resources
-This fundamental capability directly supports common cloud features, such as on-demand usage, resource pooling, elasticity, scalability, and resiliency
Resource Replication 资源复制
Virtual servers are created as virtual disk images
-contain binary file copies of hard disk content
-These virtual disk images are accessible to the host’s operating system
Simple file operations, such as copy, move, paste, back up virtual server
This ease of manipulation and replication is one of the most salient(突出的)features of virtualization technology
Operating System-Based Virtualization 基于操作系统虚拟化
host operating system宿主操作系统
-the installation of virtualization software in a pre-existing operating system
-Host OS can support hardware devices
-OS virtualization can rectify(解决) hardware compatibility issues
Virtualization enabled Hardware independence
-Hardware IT resources to be more flexibly used
-Virtualization software translates hardware IT resources into virtualized IT resources compatible with operating systems
Hardware-Based Virtualization基于硬件虚拟化
Hypervisor虚拟机管理程序
-Virtualization software directly install to physical host hardware bypass the host operating system
-A hypervisor has a simple user-interface, establish a virtualization management layer
-Hardware-based virtualization more efficient
enables multiple virtual servers to interact with the same hardware platform
Device drivers and system services are optimized for the provisioning of virtual servers
hardware-based virtualization concerns compatibility with hardware devices
-meaning all of the associated device drivers and support software need to be compatible with the hypervisor
Virtualization Management虚拟化管理
Virtualized IT resource management is often supported by virtualization infrastructure management (VIM) tools
-collectively manage virtual IT resources
-rely on a centralized management module

Each design constraint is described in detail at www.whatisrest.com.
Service Agents 服务代理
Service agents are event-driven programs designed to intercept(拦截) messages at runtime.
-active service agent 主动服务代理
Active service agents perform an action upon intercepting and reading the contents of a message.
making changes to the message contents (most commonly message header data and less commonly the body content) or changes to the message path itself.
-passive service agent 被动服务代理
do not change message contents
they read the message and may then capture certain parts of its contents for monitoring, logging, or reporting purposes
Cloud-based environments rely heavily on system-level and custom service agents to perform runtime monitoring and measuring
Service Middleware 服务中间件
