Their goal is to make the services more specific to a company, or to integrate or aggregate services, to enhance their security, or to do anything which adds a significant layer of value (i.e. capabilities) to the original cloud services being offered (Plummer, 2012). There exist several solutions focused on providing service brokerage of Cloud Service Providers (CSP), mainly VM’s and virtualized resources, but not of other services offered (e.g. Data Processing as a Service) or SaaS applications which are certified and legally compliant. This paper proposes a solution for a Federated Cloud Service Broker (FCSB) overcoming existing challenges in the public sector such as Governance, Interoperability and portability, SLAs compliance and assessment, Intelligent discovery of cloud services, cross border interoperability and legislation awareness . The analysis of the existing solutions, and the presentation of the approach made in (Alonso, et al., 2016) is complemented with a technical design including the main functionalities and the modules that will implement them.8661977enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference output10.5220/0006285003840391SLAQoSCloud ServicesCloud Service BrokerServices AggregationCloud Service IntermediatorTechnical DesignSLAQoSCloud ServicesCloud Service BrokerServices AggregationCloud Service IntermediatorTechnical DesignProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/731533/EU/DEvOps for trusted, portable and interoperable Multi-Cloud applications towards the Digital singlE market/DECIDEinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/731533/EU/DEvOps for trusted, portable and interoperable Multi-Cloud applications towards the Digital singlE market/DECIDEFunding InfoThe projects leading to this paper (Cloud For_x000D_ Europe) has received funding from the European_x000D_ Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for_x000D_ research, technological development and_x000D_ demonstration and from European Union’s Horizon_x000D_ 2020 research and innovation programme under_x000D_ grant agreement No 731533.The projects leading to this paper (Cloud For_x000D_ Europe) has received funding from the European_x000D_ Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for_x000D_ research, technological development and_x000D_ demonstration and from European Union’s Horizon_x000D_ 2020 research and innovation programme under_x000D_ grant agreement No 731533.
