Web ServicesManagement

• OASIS Face To Face
• 9/18/02

2
Team Goal

• D-AG007 Management and Provisioning
• The standard reference architecture for Web
  Services must provide for a manageable and
  accountable environment for Web Services
  operations..
• Critical success factors and requirements for
  this goal
• D-AC018 The Web Services Architecture must enable
  the management and provisioning of Web Services

3
Requirements

• AC018.1 Ensure that implementations of the Web
  Services Architecture are manageable.
• AR018.1.1 Define a base set of standard metrics
  for architectural components and their
  interactions accompanied by guidelines for
  measurement.
• AR018.1.2 Define a base set of standard
  management operations for Web Services
  Architecture implementations. Management
  operations includes, but is not limited to,
  support for configuration control and lifecycle
  control.
• AR018.1.3 Define a base set of management events
  to be issued by the Web Services Architecture
  implementation.
• AR018.1.4 Define a standard methodology for
  accessing management capabilities from the Web
  Services Architecture implementation.

4
Requirements

• AC018.2 Ensure that implementations of the Web
  Service instances are manageable.
• AR018.2.1 Define how a web service should expose
  web service specific metrics, configuration,
  operations, and events.
• AR018.2.2 Support the discovery of web service
  management capabilities.
• AR018.2.3 Define a standard methodology for
  accessing management capabilities of a Web
  Service through the Web Services Architecture
  implementation.

5
Requirements

• Ensure that at least the following types of
  management aspects are supported
• Resource Accounting,
• Usage Auditing and Tracking,
• Performance Monitoring,
• Availability,
• Configuration,
• Control,
• Security Auditing and Administration
• Service Level Agreements

6
Management Task Force

• Goal Draft architecture to satisfy management
  requirements
• TimeLine 6-8 weeks
• Deliverables
• Basic Management Data
• Access to Management Data
• List of Outstanding To Dos and Timelines
• Approach to coordinate with other Standards
  Bodies (OASIS MP TC and DMTF)

7
Management Task Force

• Extreme standards
• Lead Heather Kreger, IBM
• Primary Participants
• Computer Associates - Igor Sedukhin
• Hewlett Packard - Zulah Eckert, Yin-Leng Husband
• Thomson - Hao He
• Secondary Participants
• SAP - Colleen Evans
• Web Methods - Prasad Yendluri
• Cisco Sandeep Kumar
• All communication on public mailing list
  w3c-ws-arch_at_w3.org under MTF

8
W3C Web Services Architecture Working Groups role

• Provide a Web Services Architecture
• To provide context
• To provide guidance
• To promote consistent deliverables
• To promote interoperability/cooperation
• To define the basic management aspects of the
  architecture

9
Manageable Components

• Web Service Execution Environment
• For the Execution Environment
• For its contained Services
• Web Service
• Registry centralized and distributed
• UDDI (push model)
• WSIL (support crawling registries)
• Other registries

10
MTF Needs To Define

• For each component
• Data (Identity, Configuration)
• Metrics
• Operations
• Events
• Model Agnostic
• probably an XML schema of the data
• Probably portTypes and serviceTypes
• Use to create appropriate representations CIM,
  OMI, etc.

11
MTF Needs To Define

• Access to data
• To Service Execution Environment
• To a Service
• To a Registry
• We would like this will be the result of the
  OASIS MP TC
• We would like to submit requirements and advise
