REFIT ensures the monitoring of system and network, collecting application-level and infrastructure-level metrics and events. These are used for reconfiguration and refactoring, decided and executed to alter the current deployment topology of an application and/or the quality and the configuration of infrastructure resources used by the application. It addresses the problem of monitoring data management coming from different sources is not an easy task. In particular, when identifying a network issue, it is hard to pinpoint the application that is causing the problem. Additionally, it is difficult to do an accurate selection of an appropriate set of deployment options for a given context (workload, user location) from many possible deployment options by balancing different non-functional requirements such as performance, cost, thermal energy, security risks, and privacy risks. We also address the problem of the dynamic discovery and use of deployment options as new options become available/unavailable/changed. The SODALITE monitoring technology collects, stores and aggregates data to simplify the access to it.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
SODALITE monitoring and reconfiguration provides a single entry-point for dynamic monitoring of runtime data in multi-cloud (including OpenStack) and HPC clusters (managed PBS Pro and SLURM schedulers) with an alerting mechanism that can be used to trigger the refactoring of deployments on several infrastructures for ensuring the highest QoS level.
The technology is scalable by design, based on well-established technology.
The SODALITE technology is based on open source technologies and custom developments. It is being already tested in 3 use cases. The replication difficulty lies on the data acquisition options and configuration to the applications it will focus on. However, the business model includes tools and specific features (e.g., training, consultancy) for covering those.
The SODALITE consortium is making available the full-stack technology over five layers that are led and maintained by a subset of partners that are its IP owners and will extend those technologies to commercial solutions or further research pathways.
