Grid cloudification #2

by William Vambenepe

On a recent drive to work, I heard another echo of the Grid world in the context of Cloud computing: I was listening to the Cloud Cafe podcast with Enomaly’s Reuven Cohen when he mentioned (near the 27 minute mark) that they use Ganglia for monitoring their environment.

I am familiar with Ganglia from some HP Labs projects around PlanetLab that I was involved in. Ganglia is used quite a lot for monitoring in the PlanetLab environment.

So Ganglia is one. Is any other project/tool/product coming from the Grid/HPC efforts of the last 10 years now used by the cool Cloud kids? Globus? SmartFrog? Platform? Condor? Others?

A few seconds later in the podcast, Reuven provides this juicy quote: “is the cloud an excuse for bad code”. But that’s a topic for another post.

    SmartFrog components for Hadoop are coming up, though there is a big patch for lifecycle of hadoop parts that I need to make management of the different services more uniform, and to make it possible to actually stop running services: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3628

    Julio and I are talking about this at the Hadoop UK event in 3 weeks time.
