Abstract

The cloud computing paradigm is popular due to its pay-as-you-go model. Due to its increasing demand for service, the user has a huge advantage in paying for the service currently needed. In a federated cloud environment, there is one or more number of cloud service providers who share their servers to service the user request. It improves minimizing cost, utilization of services and improves performance. Clients will get benefited as there is a Service Level Agreement between both. In the present paper, survey is provided on the benefits of the federated environment, its architecture, provision of resources and future research directions. Paper also gives the comparative study on the above aspects.
