Abstract
A request to instantiate one or more virtual machines in a cloud may be received. The request may specify a service level agreement (SLA). A specification for resources to instantiate the virtual machine in view of a type of the virtual machine and the SLA may be determined. A value and specifications offered for the resources to instantiate the type of the virtual machines may be received. A value for at least one specification in view of an amount of time for providing the resources and a comparison with other values for resources of other clouds may be determined. The specification for the resources to instantiate the type of the virtual machines and the value offered for the resources to instantiate the type of the virtual machines may be matched with at least one specification for resources offered and the value determined for the at least one specification.
