Topologies used In InterCloud Architecture
1. Peer-to-Peer Inter-Cloud Federation: Clouds work together directly, but they may also utilize distributed entities as directories or brokers. Clouds communicate and engage in direct negotiation without the use of intermediaries. The peer-to-peer federation intercloud projects are RESERVOIR (Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers Project).
2. Centralized Inter-Cloud Federation: In the cloud, resource sharing is carried out or facilitated by a central body. The central entity serves as a registry for the available cloud resources. The inter-cloud initiatives Dynamic Cloud Collaboration (DCC), and Federated Cloud Management leverage centralized inter-cloud federation.
3. Multi-Cloud Service: Clients use a service to access various clouds. The cloud client hosts a service either inside or externally. The services include elements for brokers. The inter-cloud initiatives OPTIMUS, contrail, MOSAIC, STRATOS, and commercial cloud management solutions leverage multi-cloud services.
4. Multi-Cloud Libraries: Clients use a uniform cloud API as a library to create their own brokers. Inter clouds that employ libraries make it easier to use clouds consistently. Java library J-clouds, Python library Apache Lib-Clouds, and Ruby library Apache Delta-Cloud are a few examples of multiple multi-cloud libraries.
Inter Cloud Resource Management
Pre-requisite:- Cloud Computing
A theoretical model for cloud computing services is referred to as the “inter-cloud” or “cloud of clouds.” combining numerous various separate clouds into a single fluid mass for on-demand operations Simply put, the inter-cloud would ensure that a cloud could utilize resources outside of its range using current agreements with other cloud service providers. There are limits to the physical resources and the geographic reach of any one cloud.
