Health Management Monitors the status of your applications with the ability to sense and respond to problem areas.Continuous availability during failures: application, middleware, or hardware.

Self-protectingSelf-healing

Intelligent Management OverviewAutonomic Computing - Providing Continuous Availability

Enables interruption free application rollout.Continuous availability during application updates.

Application Edition Management

Self-managing

Dynamic Clusters Elastically scale applications out and in based on demand and service policies.Continous availability during traffic surges.Self-optimizing

Intelligent RoutingQuickly route around slow or failing servers. Multi-cell load balancing and failover. Request prioritization and overload protection (CPU and memory.Continuous availability during soft-hang or cluster/cell outage.

Health Management – Health Policy

• Conditions direct actions

• Conditions – expressions based on health metrics

e.g. CPU, memory, response time, PMI

• Actions – communication or infrastructure action

e.g. email/SNMP, dump, quarantine, script

• Assign policy to application clusters

App Editions – Interruption-free Upgrade

• Coordinates app upgrade with routing tier.

• Enables existing sessions to drain.

• Provides options on cutoff from old to new edition.

e.g. grouping, reset

Auto-Scaling - Key Concepts

• Topologies – Cells and Collectives

• Elasticity Models

• Container Elasticity (e.g. JVM)

• Profile Elasticity (e.g. Liberty)

• Machine Elasticity (e.g. VM)

• Scaling Policy – What/Where/When/Why

Auto-Scaling - Scaling Policy

Two policy formats:

1. Full profile• Stored in dmgr• Specifies min/max instances + goal (e.g. response time)

2. Liberty profile * • Stored in controller(s) OR server package• Specifies min/max + metric upper/lower bounds (e.g. CPU)

* Model shared by IBM Bluemix.
