Abstract

Service Level Agreements (SLA) represents the principal means to control the Quality of Service (QoS). In cloud computing, various advanced SLA strategies are used; some techniques among others try to avoid the SLA violations. Taking into account the cloud consumer contextual parameters is a promising way to predict and avoid costly SLA violations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a context-aware system for the SLA in order to guarantee the QoS. We create a contextual ontology to introduce the semantic meaning of the cloud consumer contextual parameters. In addition, using reasoning techniques, we (1) predict SLA violations and we (2) choose and apply the corrective actions in autonomous manner. This allows getting a proactive adjustment of the cloud service execution and respecting the SLA parameters.
