Enhancing an IaaS Ontology Clustering Scheme for Resiliency Support in Hybrid Cloud

When an undesirable situation occurs in a hybrid cloud computing environment, vital issues arise when searching for IaaS cloud services that best-match to the user's requirements. This includes the different descriptions/naming of IaaS cloud services, i.e., CPU, memory, and others, adapted by different companies making it difficult and ambiguous to select the best-match cloud services. Initially, we considered utilizing ontology technology and typical clustering methods to narrow down the selection process. In this paper, we proposed an improved ontology clustering scheme and describe the methodology. Preliminary experiments shows promising results showing a fair gathering of related elements in the cluster and the speedup of processing depicting a viable resiliency support for hybrid cloud.
