Abstract

It is difficult for customers to select the adequate cloud providers which fit their needs, as the number of cloud offerings increases rapidly. Many works thus focus on the design of cloud brokers. Unfortunately, most of them do not consider precise security requirements of customers. In this paper, we propose a methodology defined to place services in a multi-provider cloud environment, based on functional and non-functional requirements, including security requirements. To eliminate inner conflicts within customers requirements, and to match the cloud providers offers with these customers requirements, we use a formal analysis tool: Alloy. The broker uses a matching algorithm to place the required services in the adequate cloud providers, in a way that fulfills all customer requirements. We finally present a prototype implementation of the proposed broker.
