Abstract	Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm that allows users with different computing demands to access a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., servers, network, storage, database, applications and services). Many commercial cloud providers have emerged in the past 6-7 years, and each typically provides its own cloud infrastructure, APIs and application description formats to access the cloud resources, as well as support for service level agreements (SLAs). Such vendor lock-in has seriously limited the flexibility that cloud end users would like to process, when it comes to deploy applications over different infrastructures in different geographic locations, or to migrate a service from one provider's cloud to another. To enable seamless sharing of resources from a pool of cloud providers, efforts have emerged recently to facilitate cloud interoperability, i.e., the ability for multiple cloud providers to work together, from both the industry and academia. In this article, we conduct a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art efforts, with a focus on interoperability among different IaaS (infrastructure as a service) cloud platforms. We investigate the existing studies on taxonomies and standardization of cloud interoperability, as well as practical cloud technologies from both the cloud provider's and user's perspectives to enable interoperation. We pose issues and challenges to advance the topic area, and hope to pave a way for the forthcoming research.
