for Java applications with the Waratek
Cloud VM for Java!

The Problem with Java!
•  Java is 15 years old, predates multitenant cloud computing

•  JavaEE app servers were designed to host multiple webapps,
but rarely do in practice because there's no isolation between
webapps

•  Today's JavaSE/JavaEE apps are deployed as "one app per
app-server per JVM", which leads to "app-server sprawl”

•  Hosting one webapp per JVM means provisioning ﬁxed cpu/
memory quotas which can't elastically ﬂuctuate on demand.

The Problem with Java!
•  Hosting one webapp per ﬁxed cpu/memory quota means
there is unused cpu/memory capacity being paid for: this is a
waste

•  Today's JavaSE/JavaEE apps are perfectly suited to a
multitenant "pay exactly what you consume" model were there
a multitenant JVM

•  A multitenant JVM would be able to charge computing power
like a utility: gigahertz-hours for cpu, gigabyte-hours for
memory

Virtualizing the Java Platform!

•  The Waratek Cloud VM introduces a feature called Java
Virtualization Containers (JVC)
•  A JVC is a metacircular VM within the JVM which shares the
host JVM environment (heap, classes, JIT) with other JVCs
•  A JVC is extremely lightweight: < 1 MB overhead per JVC

JVC 1! JVC 2! JVC 3!

Fine-grained resource control!
•  A single VM can host thousands of JVCs:
a JVC can be any size (from 1MB up to many GBs)

•  Every aspect of JVC execution is isolated:
cpu priority, memory limits, bandwidth, etc

•  Every aspect of JVC use is metered:
cpu use in Hz, memory/IO use in Bytes

•  JVCs provide computing power like electricity kW-h:
cpu consumed in GHz-h, memory consumed in GB-h

Waratek Cloud VM delivers Java-as-a-Service!

•  Run JavaSE/JavaEE platform software as a multitenant cloud
service without code change:
binary compatible with existing apps and platforms

•  Every .war/.ear/.jar app gets its own JVC

.war app! .ear app! .jar app!

Tomcat / JBoss / GlassFish / Other !

Extensible Java Virtualization!

•  JVC framework is fully extensible and customizable:
enhanced JVCs can be created by anyone using Waratek
APIs

•  Special-purpose JVCs already in dev or planning:
Servlet JVCs for Tomcat, EAR JVCs for JBoss, Scala JVC,
Clojure JVC, et al

•  Waratek is adding a range of premium JVC features:
legacy JVCs, live snapshot, live migration, JVC mirroring
for disaster-recovery, etc.
