As the cloud of clouds, cloud federation, sometimes called as inter-cloud, provides a feasible and attractive kind of infrastructure to the cloud applications which want to obtain high performance, availability or profit. Meanwhile, the cloud providers also may consider that cloud federation is an ideal form to manage their computing resource since it can improve the utilization of their computing resources and extend the computing power of an individual provider. This paper classifies the

A design of the framework of multi-objective constrained resource management for cloud federation is proposed based on the analysis of the common objectives of such a framework, including dynamic profit-driven provisioning, availability-aware placement and power-saved consolidation. The result of our simulation has demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework.
