An Inter-Cloud Architecture for Future Internet Infrastructures

Iaan latest years, the concept of interconnecting clouds to allow common service coordination gained significant attention mainly because of the increasing utilization of cloud resources from Internet users. An efficient common management between different clouds is essential benefit, like boundless elasticity and scalability. Yet, issues related with different standards led to interoperability problems. For this reason, the definition of the open cloud-computing interface defines a set of open community-lead specifications along with a flexible API to build cloud systems. There releases like OpenStack, OpenNebula, Amazon Web Services, and VMWare Cloud for all kinds of cloud models such as Infrastructure, Software and Platform as a Service that expose APIs for inter-cloud communication. In this work we aim to explore an inter-cloud model by creating a new cloud platform service to act as a negotiator among OpenStack, FI-WARE datacenter resource management and Amazon Web Service cloud architectures, therefore to orchestrate communication of various cloud environments. The model is based on the concept of FI-WARE and will be offered as a reusable enabler with an open specification to allow service distribution.
