Elastic Environment (Erl, Naserpour)
The Elastic Environment compound pattern represents a collection of patterns that coexist in an environment to provide the dynamic feature-set required to realize the elasticity characteristic of a cloud. It is comprised of the following patterns:
Required (Core)
- Cross-Storage Device Vertical Tiering
- Elastic Disk Provisioning
- Elastic Network Capacity
- Elastic Resource Capacity
- Intra-Storage Device Vertical Data Tiering
- Rapid Provisioning
- Resource Pooling
- Storage Workload Management
- Usage Monitoring
- Workload Distribution
