Abstract: An example method for reserving resources in a multi-cloud environment may include receiving, by a reservation broker executing in the multi-cloud environment, a first client request to reserve a first cloud resource in a plurality of clouds. The plurality of clouds includes a corresponding plurality of cloud brokers. The method may include selecting, by the reservation broker, a first cloud broker from the plurality of cloud brokers based on a first reservation type associated with the first cloud resource. The first cloud broker corresponds to a first cloud selected from the plurality of clouds. The method may also include transmitting, by the reservation broker, a first reservation request to the first cloud broker. The first cloud broker is configured to reserve the first cloud resource in the first cloud based on the first reservation request.
