Abstract:

[Objective] The “East-West Computing Requirement Transfer” project has initiated the planning and construction of the integrated big data center system at the national level. Scheduling of large-scale computing services across different computing service providers has become an important research topic. [Application background] This paper applies to multiple large cloud service providers collaborating to provide combined computing power services. [Methods] This paper proposes a reference architecture for computing power scheduling of cloud-enabled infrastructure based on multi-cloud and inter-cloud, and presents related key technologies and application examples. [Results] This reference architecture can automate the deployment of shielded heterogeneous computing power resources of cloud-enabled infrastructure based on the data model of the service providers’ partnership. [Limitations] The service providers’ interconnection relationships in real-world scenarios are more complex, and the design of data models still faces many challenges. [Conclusions] The inter-cloud and multi-cloud-based computing power scheduling of cloud-enabled infrastructure can be one of the important technology choices for the national integrated computing power scheduling under the “East-West Computing Requirement Transfer” strategy.
