Álvaro López García, Enol Fernández, Pablo Orviz · Computer Standards & Interfaces · 2016
Technology market is continuing a rapid growth phase where different resource providers and Cloud Management Frameworks are positioning to provide ad-hoc solutions–as management interfaces , information discovery or billing–trying to differentiate from competitors resulting in incompatibilites between them when addressing more complex scenarios like federated clouds . Therefore, grasping interoperability problems present in current infrastructures by studying how existing and emerging standards could enhance the cloud user experience . In this paper we will review the current open challenges in Infrastructure as a Service cloud interoperability and federation, as well as point to the potential standards that should alleviate these problems.
