Individuals and corporate users are persistently considering cloud adoption due to its significant benefits compared to traditional computing environments. The data and applications in the cloud are stored in an environment that is separated, managed and maintained externally to the organisation. Therefore, it is essential for cloud providers to demonstrate and implement adequate security practices to protect the data and processes put under their stewardship. Security transparency in the cloud is likely to become the core theme that underpins the systematic disclosure of security designs and practices that enhance customer confidence in using cloud service and deployment models. In this paper, we present a framework that enables a detailed analysis of security transparency for cloud based systems. In particular, we consider security transparency from three different levels of abstraction, i.e., conceptual, organisation and technical levels, and identify the relevant concepts within these levels. This allows us to provide an elaboration of the essential concepts at the core of transparency and analyse the means for implementing them from a technical perspective. Finally, an example from a real world migration context is given to provide a solid discussion on the applicability of the proposed framework.

“…At state of art few frameworks exists that offers such http://www.journalofcloudcomputing.com/content/2/1/12 kind of functionalities: the one produced by SLA@SOI [45][46][47], which proposed a solution for building SLA managers to be integrated in service oriented architectures, or WSAG4j [48] which is a Java library compliant with the WS-Agreement standard (that defines protocol and format for SLA representation and management). Such frameworks are complex and expected to be integrated by Cloud providers: SLA are defined by the provider and the users can access only a set of predefined templates.…”

The diversity of Cloud computing services is challenging the application developers as various and non-standard interfaces are provided for these services. Few middleware solutions were developed until now to support the design, deployment and execution of service-independent applications as well as the management of resources from multiple Clouds. This paper focuses on one of these advanced middleware solutions, called mOSAIC. Written after the completion of its development, this paper presents an integrated overview of the mOSAIC approach and the use of its various software prototypes in a Cloud application development process. We are starting from the design concepts and arrive to various applications, as well as to the position versus similar initiatives.

“…We classify related work on enforcement of Cloud based services into (i) monitoring of Cloud/Grid/Web services [12,15,1], (ii) SLA management including QoS management [8][9][10][11] and (iii) mapping techniques of monitored metrics to SLA parameters and attributes [20,13,14]. Since there is very little work on monitoring, SLA management, and metrics mapping in Cloud systems we look particularly into related areas such as Grid and SOA based systems.…”

“…Theilman et al 2008 [9] discuss an approach for multilevel SLA management, where SLAs are consistently specified and managed within a service-oriented infrastructure (SOI). They present the run-time functional view of the conceptual architecture and discuss different case studies including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or financial services.…”
