User-customisable policy monitoring for multi-tenant cloud architectures

Abstract

Cloud computing needs end-user customisation and person-
 alisation of multi-tenant cloud service oerings. Particularly, QoS and governance policy management and monitoring is needed. We propose a user-customisable policy denition solution that can be enforced in multitenant cloud oerings through automated instrumentation and monitoring. Service processes run by cloud and SaaS providers can be made policy-aware in a transparent way.
