WEB PORTALS FOR MANAGEMENT OF CLOUD SERVICES WITHIN DATA CENTRES

Subject of Research. The paper analyzes design and development issues of web portals for cloud services of data centres. We consider a web portal for administrators and users and a portal for service configuration. The portals are applied for access to cloud services according to differentiation of user access rights. Method. The design of referred portals was presented based on international practice of cloud service providers. Implementation of the portal for administrators based on Openstack Horizon and our own solution of the portal for service configuration were proposed. Main Results. The functionality of the portals has been tested effectively with Openstack virtualization platform on the prototype of a geographically distributed data centre deployed by SMARTS telecom provider (the city of Samara). Practical Relevance. The proposed approach can be used for similar portal development in the other cloud service projects.
