“…A few solutions have been proposed to deal with intersite virtualized networking services in IaaS systems [8], [11], [12], [6], [13], [14]. In [12], the authors describes an Hybrid Fog and Cloud interconnection framework to enable a simple and automated provision and configuration of virtual networks to interconnect multiple sites.…”

The deployment of a geo-distributed cloud infrastructure, leveraging for instance Point-of-Presences at the edge of the network, could better fit the requirements of Network Function Virtualization services and Internet of Things applications. The envisioned architecture to operate such a widely distributed infrastructure relies on executing one instance of a Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) per location and implement appropriate code to enable collaborations between them when needed. However, delivering the mechanisms that allow the collaborations is complex and error prone task. This is particularly true for the one in charge of establishing connectivity among VIM instances on-demand. Besides the reconfiguration of the network equipment, the main challenge is to design a mechanism that can offer usual network virtualization operations to the users while dealing with scalability and intermittent network properties of geo-distributed infrastructures. In this paper, we present how such a challenge can be tackled in the context of OpenStack. More precisely, we introduce DIMINET, a DIstributed Module for Inter-site NETworking services capable to interconnect independent networking resources in an automatized and transparent manner. DIMINET relies on a decentralized architecture where each agent communicates with others only if needed. Moreover, there is no global view of all networking resources but each agent is in charge of interconnecting resources that have been created locally. This approach enables us to mitigate management traffic and keep each site operational in case of network partitions. A promising approach to make other cloud-services collaborative on-demand.

The increasing demand of the cloud services and with the emergence of many could service providers, the need for cloud federation is inevitable. In cloud federation, many could services providers are collaborating with each other to improve the resources usage, cost, quality of service they provide. To form this federation a management framework is required to facilitate the communication between these providers. This framework can be centralized or distributed, distributed Peer to Peer cloud federation improve extensibility, scalability and fault-tolerant. On the other hand, it is challenging in term of complexity, security and manageability of the federation. In this paper we propose a fully distributed P2P Cloud Federation (PPCF) architecture. PPCF provide a way to connect heterogenous cloud providers to share resources and improve the cloud elasticity. The architecture combines different software technologies to fulfil the cloud federation requirements.
