Abstract:
Cloud providers need to manage and control their assets identifying, retrieving, and exchanging data about their virtual resources in different operating contexts. These tasks are not trivial at all and this leads cloud providers to design proprietary solutions for the management of their virtual resources and services. In this paper, considering IaaS clouds, we discuss an approach based on XDI for the representation of data associated to Virtual Machines (VMs). More specifically, we focus on a scenario including federated clouds renting VMs to other ones, where an exchange of related data is required.
