Abstract

Enabling and controlling the elasticity of cloud computing applications is challenging. The developer must deal with daunting tasks using low-level code to implement strategies trading off costs versus quality of service. Programming directives can substantially reduce this overhead by delegating control of elasticity to middleware systems while allowing developers to focus on defining suitable strategies. This Web extra lists example directives in the Simple-Yet-Beautiful Language (SYBL).
