              one of the most challenging aspects of cloud computing.
              For the final user, interoperability means the possibility
              of migrating from one IaaS provider to another, or to
              manage in a seamless way the resources provided by
              distinct providers: thus the risk of being locked to a
              given provider is avoided, and cloud operation is made
              more reliable and secure. For the intermediate provider
              that offers value added services using a cloud
              infrastructure, interoperability means the possibility to
              offer the same service using different providers, without
              redesigning the application each time. Being the cloud a
              fast evolving creature, standardization proposals must be
              extremely flexible and not bound to current technologies
              or short term visions, while being simple to adhere to. As
              an alternative, some propose the design of intermediate
              layers that work as adapters for distinct providers.</span></span><span
