Resumo:The latest trends on cloud and multi-cloud computing are well established in our society. However, the lack of interoperability raised a few issues that have been tackled with open standards and integration frameworks. Still, web application development adds a few more issues when accessing and managing cloud resources in the application’s logic. This thesis describes an extensible platform architecture for portable cloud service integration, designed to satisfy requirements and usage patterns of web applications. Moreover, it implements access control policies and mechanisms for cloud resource sharing, delegation and replication. Finally, the thesis presents performance tests of the solution, along with an analysis and discussion of the results obtained.
