No SOA, no cloud architecture

The industry has talked a lot about whether cloud computing will replace or replace SOA. But in fact, cloud computing and SOA are inextricably linked.

The formation of cloud structure, need to rely on the same enterprise structure and management mechanism, that is the enterprise used to manage SOA of various related technology, manpower, office process and other resources. To ensure proper use of cloud computing in the architecture, it is necessary to develop an appropriate management strategy. These services are then managed in a larger planning scenario. This is probably the most critical aspect of SOA. Similarly, for cloud computing. But if the effective governance methods and strategies cannot be put forward, the formation of cloud structure can not be successfully promoted.

In general, SOA ultimately results in cloud computing. SOA and cloud computing are interconnected. The role of SOA is virtually all about shared services, information, processes, and flexibility, integration, and allocation management. The function of cloud computing is to provide architecture add-on features, including SaaS, database services and platform requirements.

In both cases, flexibility is essential. The value of SOA over traditional architecture approaches is its ability to take advantage of flexibility. Since we've treated many applications as "services," we can configure or reconfigure those services, even for composite applications, such as Plug-ins or bundling plug-ins into processes and converting plug-ins into applications.

Of course, the "loosely coupled" side of SOA is also one of the decisive factors in the successful implementation of the cloud. The best scenario for injecting services into the cloud typically occurs when applications, processes, and data are reduced to dependencies.

Cloud Computing provides new architectural add-on service applications at the time the service project is deployed. We should not just focus on a complete, prerequisite solution, or just a place to bundle, decorate, and service within the data center, because we can also rely on the architecture add-on service provider Amazon and 3tera.
