Part 3 of the building a grid using only web services is now available. This part of the series deals with the exposure of resources so that we can track and monitor information about our grid, both at a grid node level, and across the entire grid.

Once again, the tutorial has made top picks on the IBM developerWorks Grid computing page!

Here is the intoductory blurb:

In this tutorial, you’re going to produce an environment for your grid nodes to store and return resource properties and information through Web services. You’ll also build a client that obtains the information for each of the nodes on the grid manager that, in turn, sums up the information and provides it to the grid client. Finally, you will test the new management service by installing Apache Geronimo and Axis2 in order to deploy your grid manager service.

You can read the first part of the tutorial through this link.

Finally, get up to speed with Part 3.
