| Abstract | We present the design of a toolkit that can be employed by users and administrators to manage virtual machines on multi-cloud environments. It can be run by individual users or offered as a service to a shared user community. We have practically demonstrated its use as part of a Future- Grid service, allowing users of FutureGrid to utilize such a service. Furthermore, we discuss implications and solutions for a unified metrics system assisting the users to find and utilize resources appropriate for their applications. Lastly, we discuss how to move such a multi-cloud environment for- ward by integrating clouds managed by the community or are offered as public clouds. This includes the introduction of a mutual trust agreement on a user and project basis. We have developed a number of components that support the creation of such a multi-cloud environment. This sys- tem is known as Cloudmesh and has been used in practice to achieve virtual machine management in multiple clouds. An important distinguishing factor of Cloudmesh is that it also allows the use of bare metal provisioning for support- ing service providers and authorized users, offering services beyond those available by typical clouds. |
