DRIP - Dynamic Real-Time Infrastructure Planner

Dynamic Real-time Infrastructure Planner (DRIP) is responsible for the planning, validation and provisioning of the virtual infrastructure enlisted to support an application specified in SIDE. DRIP has formulated an acceptable proposed infrastructure, which automatically negotiates with cloud providers in real-time to provision the infrastructure with respect to an agreed set of service level agreements (SLAs) that will satisfy (in principle) all quality of service requirements.
