(2024). Performance evaluation of Private and Public Blockchains for multicloud service federation. In 25th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN’24), January 4–7, 2024, Chennai, India. ACM, New York, NY, USA, 5 pages.979-8-4007-1673-7https://hdl.handle.net/10016/43779The stringent low-latency, high reliability, availability and resilience requirements of 6G use cases will present challenges to cloud providers. Currently, cloud providers lack simple, efficient, and secure implementation of provisioning solutions that meet these challenges. Multi-cloud federation is a promising approach. In this paper, we evaluate the application of private and public blockchain networks for multi-cloud federation. We compare the performance of blockchain-based federation in private and public blockchain networks and their integration with a production-ready orchestration solution. Our results show that the public blockchain needs approximately 91 seconds to complete the federation procedure compared to the 48 seconds in the private blockchain scenario.5eng©2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
