Realization of Virtual Resource Management Framework in IaaS Cloud Federation

Virtual resources can be collectively and securely managed by one or more participating stakeholder(s) in the federated cloud through a Virtual Resource Management Framework (VRMF). VRMF provides authorization, authentication and identity solutions in IaaS cloud federation. System performance must be evaluated before and after the deployment of all modules in VRMF because it may vary significantly as each module uses one or more other module(s) to perform its function. This paper presents an implementation of VRMF for managing virtual resources and then evaluate the system performance in federated clouds. The implementation uses the response time as the performance parameter for evaluating the ecosystem before and after integration of all individual modules. The integrated framework with authorization, authentication and identity services shows encouraging results.
