Planning Configuration Relocation on the BonFIRE Infrastructure

The Nuri configuration tool uses automated planning techniques to reconfigure computing infrastructures from one declarative state to another, while maintaining any required constraints at all stages of the generated workflow. This paper presents the results of our experiments using Nuri to relocate complete 3-tier web applications between two BonFIRE sites. We describe the architecture of the tool and present the results of the experiment which demonstrate that Nuri is capable of planning, and executing this relocation in a reasonable time, with guaranteed constraints on the system throughout the reconfiguration.
