Abstract

Multi-cloud computing promises to deliver certain benefits, like performance optimisation and cost reduction. However, most cloud application modelling languages are tight to one cloud platform and do not have the right expressiveness to cover all application lifecycle phases. This survey attempts to review the most important from these languages, which facilitate application provisioning in commercial cloud platforms. The main review goals are to: (a) highlight those languages already or nearly multi-cloud enabled; (b) determine those parts of the remaining languages that must be extended to support multi-cloud application modelling. This review results also lead to drawing some future work directions towards producing an ideal multi-cloud application specification language.
