Cloud Auto-scaling Based Blockchain Approach

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The service level agreement (SLA), is succinctly, the concept of an agreement that ensures a commitment bounded by an obligation to provide the required level of service for the services stipulated in the contract, granting consumers the ability to monitor the quality of service (QoS) and determine if it is being delivered as promised. A multi-microservice, multi-virtualisation, multi-cloud monitoring tool (M3) takes a holistic approach to service quality monitoring, one of which is auto-scaling in cloud services, that enables service tenants to acquire sufficient infrastructure. Substantial evidence indicates that these recorded metrics are vulnerable to being manipulated by service providers or customers. Consequently, there is a trust issue between the parties who have signed the contract. The main goal of this analysis is to use the innovation of blockchain technology to provide decentralised, secure and immutable data, through the automation of the transmission metrics and allowing smart contracts (SC) that detect service level agreement violations. The research focuses on designing a decentralised application (DApp) in the Ethereum blockchain network capable of automating metrics transfer. Furthermore, a smart contract from an SLA was generated to promote a transparent environment in the auto-scaling approach to serve sufficient infrastructure. The generated smart contract is efficient in enforcing terms and conditions to ensure data integrity and the capturing of breaches, thereby successfully apprehending all imitated contraventions.
