An Interoperable API Wrapper for UrbanScale Industry 4.0 Heterogeneous Clouds Automation

Industry 4.0, API, CloudStack Ansible, CGI, uWSGI, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, IoT and Wrapper.

Industry 4.0 is the most disruptive revolution engulfing all the digital transformation from sensors nodes to cloud applications. In this work, an interoperable application programmer interface(API) wrapper is being proposed to manage heterogeneous cloud architectures using Eucalyptus, Apache CloudStack and OpenNebula. A comprehensive design and implementation plan from things layer to user interface has been accomplished in this work. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is being automated using Ansible from Web Servers Layers through Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting. The Web Servers are being managed using WebSockets by mirco Web Servers Gateway Interface (uWSGI) from cloudstack managers (CSM) API. The Platform as a Service(PaaS) for big data, web servers and machine learning platforms is accomplished using uWSGI from CSM. The public clouds and private clouds are being managed using individual APIs. The wrapper, proposed in this work enables the big challenge of the Industry 4.0 for realizing interoperability, scalability, heterogeneity and automated cloud integration by functioning at the Software as a Service(SaaS) Layer.
