Abstract
Intercloud is a cloud deployment model that interconnects multiple public cloud services together in a ‘cloud of clouds’. Intercloud provisioning has the potential to be the next stage in cloud evolution, involving interconnected public clouds based on multiple underlying technologies. However, cloud service providers have still not adequately considered the inherent interoperability barriers for its realisation. This research revisits a 2014 study on cloud barriers and, almost a decade on, re-employs its framework to identify and detail intercloud interoperability barriers to provision, and posits approaches to overcome them. As a contribution to research, the study extends the framework, identifying the relative importance of interoperability barriers in 2023, paving the way for future research. For cloud service providers, the study identifies interoperability issues previously not considered, provides a relative importance of these issues, and approaches for mitigation
