Role
The Virtual Platform is a model to be extended for transparently interfacing a potentially unlimited number of hosting environments. This library has been designed and implemented to bridge and manage the lifecycle of execution units running on a different platform than gCore.
The gCube enabling technology is capable of dynamically instantiating platforms (along with their resources) compliant to such a model. When new software designed to run on a specific platform is uploaded in the software repository and then requested for deployment, a virtual image of the target platform is created to manage such software.
Design
The library has been designed having in mind its two-fold role:
- to model the basic behavior of a virtual platform (package org.gcube.vremanagement.virtualplatform.model)
- to offer a way to instantiate and interact with a concrete virtual platform implementation (package org.gcube.vremanagement.virtualplatform.image)
