Project COLA, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program, focuses on secure and scalable cloud orchestration at the application level, enabling developers to optimize resource utilization based on defined quality of service parameters. The project provides a framework called Micado, which enhances cloud application deployment and management by allowing real-time adjustments for optimal performance. The initiative aims to increase adoption of cloud computing among SMEs and public sector organizations by addressing flexibility and security concerns.

SECURE & SCALABLE MULTI-CLOUD Cloud Orchestration at the Level of Application ➤ www.project-COLA.eu ➤ twitter.com/projectCOLA ➤ facebook.com/projectCOLA PROJECT PARTNERSMICADO SERVICE BENEFITS The results of project COLA enable gene- ric application developers to implement applications that automatically optimise cloud resource utilisation based on appli- cation developer/operator defined quali- ty of service parameters (QoS). Application developers will be able to ex- tend their application code with MiCADO ser- vice calls (the generic set of services developed by project) in order to utilise the scalability and optimisation services at both deployment and also at run-time. Application operators will be able to define desired quality of service parameters, e.g. ma- ximum response/ completion time, maximum cost, security policy requirements etc. MiCA- DO services will assure that the application is deployed in an optimal way based on the de- fined parameters. Moreover, MiCADO services will monitor the application at run-time and will automatically scale it up or down in order to optimise ap- plication execution based on the user-defined multidimensional set of QoS parameters. Users/application operators can also modify the parameters during run-time to trigger rescaling of resources, if necessary. cloudSME UG Bismarckstr. 142 47057 Duisburg Germany Published by: http://www.project-cola.eu Email: cola@cloudsme.eu Tel. +49 (0) 203 3639 9955 Project Director: Dr. Tamas Kiss (UoW) t.kiss@westminster.ac.uk Project Manager: Dr. Gábor Terstyánszky (UoW) Version11-2017 Application www.project-COLA.eu New version available: MiCADO V3 released

The project star- ted in January 2017 and will last 30 months. The consortium includes 10 companies and 4 research organisations out of 6 different countries from Europe, inclu- ding the United Kingdom, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and Germany. The coordinator of the COLA project is Dr. Tamas Kiss, University of Westminster (UK). SMEs and public sector organizations increasingly investigate the possibilities to use cloud compu- ting services in their everyday business conduct. Accessing services and resources in the cloud on-demand and in a flexible and elastic way could result in significant cost savings due to more effi- cient and convenient resource utilization that also replaces large investment costs with long term operational costs. On the other hand, the take up of cloud computing by SMEs and the public sector is still relatively low due to limited appli- cation-level flexibility and also security concerns. Project COLA (Cloud Orchestration at the Le- vel of Application) aims to increase the ad- option of cloud computing services by SMEs and the public sector as strategic target com- munities. ABOUT MICADO The overall objective of the COLA project is to define and provide a reference implementation of a generic and pluggable framework that sup- ports the optimal and secure deployment and run-time orchestration of cloud applications: MiCADO - Micro-services-based CloudApplication-level Dynamic Orchestrator. MiCADO services can be expressed with a set of well-defined (standardised) interfaces to be easily embedded into application control code without changing the original application logic. Data consistency, data protection, trustworthiness and access control are handled in a secure way when sharing and migrating applications within a single cloud or between multi-cloud platforms. MICADO ELASTICITY MiCADO (Microservices-based Cloud Appli- cation-level Dynamic Orchestrator) services provide dynamic and automated resource scalability on clouds for all (or at least a very wide range of) applications. MiCADO provides elasticity service for the customer application or infrastructure in different scenarios, including: • to optimise the load of services • to optimise the cost of using cloud resources • to optimise the execution time (i.e. keep the deadline) of executing para- meter sweep jobs http://www.project-cola.eu COLA – Cloud Orchestration at the Level of Application receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant No. 731574).
