“…In particular, we present an overview of the body of knowledge found as a result of this review (considering the 88 finally selected primary studies). The primary studies were classified according to the research method used in the study, as defined in Hybrid Cloud (public vs. private) [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] IoT or physical nodes [53][54][55][56] Different cloud services from different cloud providers [8,17,26,29,31,34,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73] Multi-cloud in a broader sense [74][75][76] Federated Cloud Services [17,32,[77][78][79][80][81] Multi-cloud Services Communities [82] opinion pap...…”

“…In this primary study the authors referred to the physical distance between the client and the Cloud resources to classify them under private if the cloud vendor is located far away from client, or public, if the cloud vendor and the client are in nearby premises. In this respect 8,5% of the studies [17,32,[77][78][79][80][81], referred to federated cloud services, i.e. different cloud services coming from different or same providers, but that are already interoperable in the sense that an intermediate layer already provides the necessary capabilities for the usage of these services despite their peculiarities given that they are provided by different cloud providers.…”

“…As anticipated in Table 6, one of the mentioned topics related to the architectural characteristics of multicloud applications is security. More concretely, security by design, which tries to take into account security problems from the very early application development stages [80]. Many security aspects can be considered from the beginning of the application of the development of the application or even the design.…”

The evolution of Cloud Computing into a service utility, along with the pervasive adoption of the IoT paradigm, has promoted a significant growth in the need of computational and storage services. The traditional use of cloud services, focused on the consumption of one provider, is not valid anymore due to different shortcomings being the risk of vendor lock-in a critical. We are assisting to a change of paradigm, from the usage of a single cloud provider to the combination of multiple cloud service types, affecting the way in which applications are designed, developed, deployed and operated over such heterogeneous ecosystems. The result is an effective heterogeneity of architectures, methods, tools, and frameworks, copying with the multi-cloud application concept. The goal of this study is manifold. Firstly, it aims to characterize the multi-cloud concept from the application development perspective by reviewing existing definitions of multi-cloud native applications in the literature. Secondly, we set up the basis for the architectural characterization of these kind of applications. Finally, we highlight several open research issues drawn up from the analysis carried out. To achieve that, we have conducted a systematic literature review (SLR), where, a large set of primary studies published between 2011 and 2021 have been studied and classified. The in-depth analysis has revealed five main research trends for the improvement of the development and operation DevOps lifecycle of “multi-cloud native applications”. The paper finishes with directions for future work and research challenges to be addressed by the software community.

Cloud computing market forecasts and technology trends confirm that Cloud is an IT disrupting phenomena and that the number of companies with multi-cloud strategy is continuously growing. Cost optimization and increased competitiveness of companies that exploit multi-cloud will only be possible when they are able to leverage multiple cloud offerings, while mastering both the complexity of multiple cloud provider management and the protection against the higher exposure to attacks that multi-cloud brings.This paper presents the MUSA Security modelling language for multi-cloud applications which is based on the Cloud Application Modelling and Execution Language (CAMEL) to overcome the lack of expressiveness of state-of-the-art modelling languages towards easing: a) the automation of distributed deployment, b) the computation of composite Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that include security and privacy aspects, and c) the risk analysis and service match-making taking into account not only functionality and business aspects of the cloud services, but also security aspects. The paper includes the description of the MUSA Modeller as the Web tool supporting the modelling with the MUSA modelling language. The paper introduces also the MUSA SecDevOps framework in which the MUSA Modeller is integrated and with which the MUSA Modeller will be validated.
