Interactions between cloud services result in service dependencies. Evaluating and managing the cascading impacts caused by service dependencies is critical to the reliability of cloud systems. This paper summarizes the dependency types in cloud systems and demonstrates the design of the Dependency Management System (DMS), a platform for managing the service dependencies in the production cloud system. DMS features full-lifecycle support for service reliability (i.e., initial service deployment, service upgrade, proactive architectural optimization, and reactive failure mitigation) and refined characterization of the intensity of dependencies.
