Service

Service (Abstract) represents any typology of service worth registering in the infrastructure. Service has relations with quite all other resources. If on one side, an Hybrid Data Infrastructure (HDI) is created to manage datasets, on the other side the HDI born to manage such datasets digitally. We could affirm that datasets and services are the two pillar resources around which revolves the entire infrastructure. It is important to highlight that Service has a general meaning and must not be intended as a network-callable service which is represented instead by one of its specialisation called EService <EService>.Giving that Service is abstract no IsIdentifiedBy <IsIdentifiedBy> association with a facet is provided which in turns is responsibility of the specialisation.

HostingNode

The HostingNode represent a container capable of managing the lifecycle of an electronic service, i.e., being capable to host and operate an EService <EService>. Examples are docker, tomcat. A container is a service which is conceived to enable any services respecting the container rules to be operative. The container does not typically provide any functionality rather than allowing the hosted service to operate. The HostingNode characterisation in terms of facets reflects the one presented for VirtualMachine <VirtualMachine>. In particular, facets representing memory, CPU and networking interface are used to describe the HostingNode when the VirtualMachine <VirtualMachine> enabling the HostingNode is not represented. Federated systems can provide virtual machines as resource or containers as resources. In some cases, the description of a container includes (virtual) hardware information. It is important to highlight that HostingNode is not a subclass of VirtualMachine <VirtualMachine>.

VirtualService

VirtualService is an abstract service (non-physically existing service) worth being represented as an existing Service for management purposes. Examples of usage include cases where classes or set of services have to be managed like an existing unit. This resource is essential from infrastructure management point of view because it allows easily share a pool of services across VREs as a single unit. VirtualService mainly consist of a service definition which uses relations to ConfigurationTemplate <ConfigurationTemplate>, EService <EService>, Software <Software> (using Demands <Demands> relation) to properly support the sharing across VREs. The correct sharing is feasible thanks to the PropagationConstraint <PropagationConstraint> of the model. The IS provides only the support for resource sharing as a bundle. Instead, the actions required to deploy a Software <Software> are a responsibility of the service invoking the sharing operation. This resource emerged thank to the experience maturated with gCube IS V.1 (gCore Based IS) where this resource was represented as a Generic Resource containing the list of the resources id forming the bundle which often lead to inconsistency.
