– Check and control service status: It supports CSCs to control cloud services, such as stopping,
resuming and terminating the cloud services. Also, this activity involves checking the status of
running cloud services by monitoring so that the cloud service broker enforces service qualities
agreed in a SLA instead of CSCs.

6.3 Service model of cloud service brokerage
The cloud services registered in the product catalogue of cloud service brokerage are categorized in the
following three service models:
– Cloud service aggregation: As shown in Figure 6-2, cloud service aggregation brings together cloud
services from multiple CSPs to CSCs without any changes in a product catalogue. The detailed
description of cloud service aggregation is introduced in Table I.2 of Appendix I;
– Cloud service integration: As shown in Figure 6-3, cloud service integration collects registered cloud
service in a product catalogue, making them work together to provide new cloud services in a
product catalogue. The detailed description of cloud service integration is introduced in Table I.3 of
Appendix I;

– Cloud service customization: As shown in Figure 6-4, cloud service customization performs
customized development by a cloud service broker on existing multiple cloud services in a product
catalogue according to CSCs' demands. The detailed description of cloud service customization is
introduced in Table I.4 of Appendix I.
