Description
The EGI Federate cloud has been active for two years, within that time it
has moved from an idea on how using standards you can build a federation
of private and smaller public cloud providers to an activity that is
currently connecting national cloud services within three countries
alongside smaller clouds from elsewhere. It has also bought the EGI its
first commercial resource provider which we use as a showcase of how with
the creation of an open marketplace different classes of providers,
business models and SLA are able to be supported to provide resources to
different communities with different expectations.
