Abstract

With the rapid growth of cloud computing, a number of service providers have appeared who offer similar services at various prices and performance levels. So, the increasing number of cloud services has made service selection a challenging decision-making problem. In a multi cloud environment, we need to find a service from multiple clouds by taking into account several requirements (user and system ones). In this paper, we present a cloud service selection model in which we focus on load-balancing across the replicas of services placed at different clouds, this, by taking into account end-user requirements for the service price.
