A graph-based approach for composite infrastructure service deployment in multi-cloud environment

Cloud computing technology offers on-demand access to different cloud services over the Internet. To benefit from the diversity of IaaS offers and pricing models, IaaS users are looking into solutions that minimize the overall infrastructure leasing cost without adversely affecting their customers. To solve the complexity of composite infrastructure service deployment across multiple Clouds, an automated approach is required to meet user requirements such as minimum deployment cost and high reliability. In this paper, we propose a new approach for composite infrastructure service deployment in multi-cloud environment. In our approach, we introduce the main phases of an efficient mapping of user requests to the most appropriate composition of cloud services while minimizing the total deployment cost.
