Network Management in Cloud Computing for Public Administration: A Practical Use Case

Network management is one of the crucial aspects to take into account when designing a Cloud platform for Infrastructure as a Service providers. It represents one of the main obstacles to the adoption of external Cloud services by the Public Administrations. In this work, we present our solution to create a Cloud infrastructure within the PRISMA project, with the goal to fulfill the requirements of an external Entity. More specifically, we approached the issue of managing different network domains dynamically, including Virtual Private Network services and Port forwarding. The final result is a very flexible system that enables us to cope with all the principal scenarios that may take place.
