Cloud federation is paving the way toward new business scenarios in which it is possible to enforce more flexible energy management strategies than in the past. Considering independent cloud providers, each one is exclusively bound to the specific energy supplier powering its datacenter. The situation radically changes if we consider a federation of cloud providers powered by both a conventional energy supplier and a renewable energy generator. In such a context, the opportune relocation of computational workload among providers can lead to a global energy sustainability policy for the whole federation. In this work, the authors investigate the advantages and issues for the achievement of such a sustainable environment.

The right setup of a testbed is important for enabling the rapid development and deployment of cloud services, in particular all the times the testbed hosts more concurrent interactions. This work shows how to configure an environment where more developers insist on it. In particular what tools are indispensable for managing compelling distributed cloud environments. We looked at mature Open Source solutions, performing their smoothed integration. The paper describes all parts necessary for accomplishing complex scenarios, even in a bounded perimeter as the VISION Cloud EU project offering. VISION Cloud represents the reference architecture dealing with Cloud Storage, and our work attempts to provide solutions applied on VISION, but suitable for any type of framework. {\textcopyright} 2012 IEEE.
