Dr. Dobb's Journal - February 2009 - (Page 27) jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-i586.rpm cruisecontrol-bin-2.7.3-1.i386.rpm apache-beehive-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm db-derby-10.4.2.0-1.i386.rpm apache-tomcat-5.5.27-1.i386.rpm Example 1: A continuous integration build system. Figure 4: CUBiT report. Apache Beehive, Apache Derby, and Tomcat—a full development and build stack. Typically, such a system can be provisioned in less than 10 minutes, thus meeting the demands of an agile development team. Step 4: Using CUBiT Web Services to automate cloud provisioning for testing services. CUBiT has an extensive set of RESTbased APIs that let you automate what would normally be complicated procedures. For example, you can dynamically provision build systems in the cloud, then destroy those systems once testing has completed. This is useful for testing milestone builds that require a “clean” system in a known good state. Step 5: Determining how cloud resources are being used and charged back. Finally, tools like CUBiT give teams and managers the ability for each system or profile to be used on an allocated/hour basis. Even if this feature is not used to charge development teams, it is still valuable for determining the usage and allocation patterns of your resources. In Figure 4, CUBiT graphically reports (in either a pie chart or table) who is using the resources in any given project and the associated costs. This ability becomes more important as organizations begin to dynamically allocate computing resources across projects that require managing their own virtual private clouds. Conclusion Software development in the cloud brings adaptability and flexibility to any size project team. By utilizing some common software development tools and a new one that introduces the concept of cloud management and development services, teams can build their own cloud development environment with continuous integration automation and “roundtrip” feedback to provide on-demand access and visibility across the development lifecycle.
