Deploying and running applications in multi-cloud environments is a challenging task for a number of reasons:different configuration parameters are needed for differentcloud environments, application's artefacts may vary acrosstechnologies or cloud providers, services provided at IaaSlevel vary from one cloud provider to another. This paperintroduces a run-time platform that enables the deploymentand execution of applications on multi-clouds with guaranteedquality of service (QoS), and details the underlying services ofthe unified layer responsible for connecting to multiple IaaScloud providers, which avoids runtime lock-in and simplifiesthe management of cloud applications.
