Abstract

Cloud federation has become a consolidated paradigm in which set of cooperative service providers share their unused computing resources with other members of the federation to gain some extra revenue. Due to increase in consciousness about cloud computing, demand for cloud services among cloud users have increased, thus making it hard for any single cloud service provider to cope up with cloud users demands and satisfying the promised quality of service. Hence, the cloud federation overcomes the limitation of each cloud service provider for maintaining their individual cloud resources. This chapter emphasizes on different approaches for cloud federation formation based on game theory and also highlights the importance of trust (soft security) in federated cloud environment. Different models for cloud federation formation using coalition game and the role of a cloud service broker in cloud federation are presented in this chapter.
