Abstract: Resource provider specifications, characterizing computing resources of computing resource providers, are received. The reachability of each IP address included in the received specification is determined. An agent is deployed that is operable to determine the value of each of a set of metrics in the environment of the host at which the agent is deployed. The agent determines the value of each metric of the set of metrics in the environment of the relevant host, and communicates the determined values to one or more computing devices that validate whether the resources characterized by the communicated values are sufficient to provide the performance characterized by the received specification and that each ISP router complies with a predetermined policy. For each computing resource provider validated and determined to comprise an ISP router compliant with policy, the specified computing resources are added to a pool of resources for cloud computing.

Abstract: A crowd-sourced cloud environment allows for, and benefits from, modes of interaction between among the service providers (including the “resource providers” and the “cloud provider”) and consumers (also referred to herein as “tenants”) that are not practiced in a DC-centric cloud environment—specifically, the use of Internet-based social networking technology and Internet-based online marketplace technology to facilitate resource pooling and interaction between crowd-sourced cloud resource providers, the cloud provider, and crowd-sourced cloud consumers.

Abstract: A cloud manager, for forming neighborhood groups from disperse cloud providers, receives provider data relating to a plurality of disperse cloud providers for a plurality of data subcategories classified under N-number main categories. The cloud manager generates a respective vector to represent each of the plurality of disperse cloud providers based on the provider data. The cloud manager generates an N-number axis space comprising the vectors. The cloud manager groups the plurality of disperse cloud providers in the N-number axis space into at least one cloud provider group, based on the vectors and a clustering algorithm.
