Declaring Victory in a Declarative Datacenter: Verification and Transferring Confidence

Shriram Krishnamurthi

Workshop on the Rise and Rise of the Declarative Datacentre, 2008

(Invited Paper.)

Abstract

Operators may appreciate and adopt declarative approaches to defining datacenters, but they will still need sophisticated tools to locate weaknesses, identify hot-spots, and catch errors. Just as usefully, they need means to transfer their confidence from one version of the system to the next. I outline some of these challenges along with our preliminary work in this direction.
