The cloud computing paradigm has become a mainstream solution for the deployment of business processes and applications. In the public cloud vision, infrastructure, platform, and software services are provisioned to tenants (i.e., customers and service providers) on a pay-as-you-go basis. Cloud tenants can use cloud resources at lower prices, and higher performance and flexibility, than traditional on-premises resources, without having to care about infrastructure management. Still, cloud tenants remain concerned with the cloud's level of service and the nonfunctional properties their applications can count on. In the last few years, the research community has been focusing on the nonfunctional aspects of the cloud paradigm, among which cloud security stands out. Several approaches to security have been described and summarized in general surveys on cloud security techniques. The survey in this article focuses on the interface between cloud security and cloud security assurance. First, we provide an overview of the state of the art on cloud security. Then, we introduce the notion of cloud security assurance and analyze its growing impact on cloud security approaches. Finally, we present some recommendations for the development of next-generation cloud security and assurance solutions.

“…It also provides a self-protecting cloud service that monitors privacy issues and protection mechanisms. Anisetti et al [2014] define a solution for multicloud service provisioning. Their approach models service provisioning as procurement e-auctions, where a preference relation maps on a partial order of bids.…”

“…Such strategies must choose VMs to trade and partners to trade with for which they can check criteria like outsourcing prices, SLAs, security, current loads, energy efficiency or energy prices. There are more static strategies that assess mentioned criteria applying rule-based approaches, game theory or queuing theory [5,7,9,12] and more dynamic ones which include negotiations / auctions [2,8,11,17,18,20].…”

“…In contrast to this work, they use a simple financial and SLA model and assume that CSPs know about the resources of their partners. Anisetti et al [2] describe e-auctions for multi-cloud service provisioning. They evaluate a service selection process based on these auctions where customers want to find the cheapest and most trustworthy CSP using matching and ranking algorithms.…”

In recent years, cloud federations have gained popularity. Small as well as big cloud service providers (CSPs) join federations to reduce their costs, and also cloud management software like OpenStack offers support for federations. In a federation, individual CSPs cooperate such that they can move load to partner clouds at high peaks and possibly offer a wider range of services to their customers. Research in this area addresses the organization of such federations and strategies that CSPs can apply to increase their profit. In this paper we present the latest extensions to the FederatedCloudSim framework that considerably improve the simulation and evaluation of cloud federations. These simulations include service-level agreements (SLAs), scheduling and brokering strategies on various levels, the use of real-world cloud workload traces and a fine-grained financial evaluation using the new CloudAccount module. We use FederatedCloudSim to compare scheduling and brokering strategies on the federation level. Among them are new strategies that conduct auctions or consult a reliance factor to select an appropriate federated partner for running outsourced virtual machines. Our results show that choosing the right strategy has a significant impact on SLA compliance and revenue.

“…Finally, an a-priori SLA enforcement mechanismin opposition to the a-posteriori SLA monitoring to detect violation-is mandatory to assess data integration feasibility. [10] proposed an e-auctions based approach for matching services with requirements in multi-cloud settings. Our work aims at going further in the use of SLA for integrating data and it provides strategies to guide the whole data integration process.…”

The recent emergence of the cloud opens new challenges for data processing and integration. Indeed, unlimited access to cloud resources and the "pay as U go" model change the hypothesis for integrating and processing big data collections. This is accentuated due to cloud provider incentives to attract data providers and let them choose their cloud. In this context data services are deployed on several clouds which make data integration face several heterogeneity problems. This paper proposes a secure-aware data integration (lookup, aggregation, correlation) strategies that can be performed on a multi-cloud environment guided by their respective SLA contracts. The resulting data integration is provided as DaaS (data as a service) with a global SLA that consolidates as much as possible the SLA adopted by every cloud provider. Our data integration approach is being tested for integrating databases used for managing an education program.
