DEPL4 — Monitor or Verify Lacking in Deployment Process

Monitor or Verify Lacking in Deployment Process: In order to make the deployment process more perfect,this specification adds deployment planning before real deployment process begins,the monitoring should be added after the deployment as well.Only implementing deployment does not means the end for an application,it will be wonderful if monitoring the effects of the performed deployment on the target system which may be chosed from several valid deployment plans.This will also be helpful to assess which choice of deployment plans is a better one and to support dynamically upgrade of existing component versions. Recommendation: Monitoring should be added to the deployment process(chapter1.3) and Monitorer should be conrrespondingly added to the Actor (chapter 7). Monitoring may involve many things here we can choose some tightly correlated to deployment.Monitoring the existing application may be easy.During the perfomation of current deployment plan,the deployer can use deploy tools to get CPU or memory's running state of each node in the domain and the network traffic may also be considered.Add some corresponding xml files or elements to describe them will be ok.But for monitoring of dynamically upgrating,we consider a example that a component will be replaced by a set of its versions encapsulated in a wrapper.During the monitoring process,the wrapper is responsible for "hiding" from the rest of the system the fact that a given component exists in multiple version and the role of the wrapper is to relay to all component versions each invocation that it receives from the rest of the system then to propagate the generated results to the rest of the system.We can authoritate different operations to different versions and only the result of the authoritative version will be propagated outside while results of other versions will be logged for comparison of their perfomance?correctness and reliability.After some given time,assesses a better version for use and removes others.There are other algorithms to find out.
