A Conceptual Platform of SLA in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a promising technology, where the infrastructure, developing platform, software and storage are delivered as a service. With the development of cloud computing, more and more cloud service providers emerge. However, there are no metrics can be referred to compare these providers, so it is difficult for cloud consumers to select the most reliable providers or resources. Thus we present a platform of Services Level Agreement (SLA) in cloud computing. In the platform, we propose a Reputation System to evaluate the reliability of providers or resources to address this challenge, and we also propose a SLA template pool in order to make the SLA negotiation between cloud providers and cloud consumers become more equitable, transparent and convenient.
