An Agentless Private Cloud Maintenance System Based on Open Source Toolbox

The cloud computing provides the more elastic organization of computing resources, and more efficiency of computing works. However, the private cloud is still necessary to various companies and institutions because of the security requirements. Therefore, these companies and institutions must manage and maintain their private clouds by themselves. The low-cost and effective private cloud maintenance alternative is an important issue to the private cloud. This paper proposes an agentless maintenance system based on the open-souce tool, Ansible. The proposed approach integrate the Ansible with the Web platform. It is unnecessary to install any software on the client machines. The maintenance system can remotely control the client machine to complete asset management, performance monitoring, Risk reporting, and so on. The proposed approach can effectively reduce the maintenance cost for the private cloud.
