Abstract :
Cloud federation allows individual cloud providers dynamically collaborate to offer services to their end-users with the Quality of Service (QoS) targets agreed in the Service Level Agreements (SLA). However, the current federated cloud models are not QoS-oriented or SLA-aware. This paper proposes a QoS-oriented federated cloud computing framework where multiple independent cloud providers can cooperate seamlessly to provide scalable QoS-assured services and discusses a high level architecture of the federation components. The distinct features of the proposed federation framework is its QoS-orientation that can trigger the on-demand resource provisioning across multiple providers, hence helping to maximize QoS targets and resources usage, eliminate SLA violations and enhance SLA formalization.
