Abstract
Cloud computing make it possible to flexibly procure, scale, and release computational resources on demand in response to workload changes. Stakeholders in business and academia are increasingly exploring cloud deployment options for their critical applications. One open problem is that service level agreements (SLAs) in the cloud ecosystem are yet to mature to a state where critical applications can be reliably deployed in clouds. This article systematically surveys the landscape of SLA-based cloud research to understand the state of the art and identify open problems. The survey is particularly aimed at the resource allocation phase of the SLA life cycle while highlighting implications on other phases. Results indicate that (i) minimal number of SLA parameters are accounted for in most studies; (ii) heuristics, policies, and optimisation are the most commonly used techniques for resource allocation; and (iii) the monitor-analysis-plan-execute (MAPE) architecture style is predominant in autonomic cloud systems. The results contribute to the fundamentals of engineering cloud SLA and their autonomic management, motivating further research and industrial-oriented solutions.

A Conceptual Platform of SLA in Cloud Computing
DASC '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE Ninth International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure ComputingCloud computing is a promising technology, where the infrastructure, developing platform, software and storage are delivered as a service. With the development of cloud computing, more and more cloud service providers emerge. However, there are no ...
A Trust Management Solution in the Context of Hybrid Clouds
WETICE '14: Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE 23rd International WETICE ConferenceCloud computing is a revolutionary paradigm which enables on-demand provisioning of computing resources. Resources are delivered to cloud consumers in the form of infrastructure, platform and software services. These resources are deployed on three ...
SLA Approach for "Cloud as a Service"
CLOUD '13: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE Sixth International Conference on Cloud ComputingOne of slogans of cloud computing is to pay only what you use and in the highly concurrencial today context, it is important to properly identify the offer of cloud provider. The offer should not only encompass the offering services, but also the ...
