A review of research on multi-cloud management platforms

Due to the rapid development of cloud computing, more and more enterprises are adopting multi-cloud for IT delivery. Because of the heterogeneity of multi-cloud platform hardware resources and virtualization systems, how to scientifically manage and reasonably use various cloud resources is a key issue that needs to be solved urgently in a multi-cloud environment. However, there is still a lack of relevant work to systematically sort out and summarize the research on the multi-cloud management platform. In response to the above problems, this article summarizes the research progress of multi-cloud management platforms. This paper analyses the industrial multi-cloud management platforms and the existing multi-cloud management platform architecture technology from shallow to in-depth and points out the limitations of mainstream multi-cloud management platforms in multi-cloud docking as well as the adaptation modules. Further, we also analyse the difficulties and challenges in the research of multi-cloud management platform architecture. Finally, a summary is made to provide a more comprehensive reference opinion for a more comprehensive understanding of multicloud management and how to formulate a multi-cloud management platform construction plan on demand as well as future prospect research work.
