Abstract

In recent years, cloud marketplaces have emerged as dominant platforms for cloud service procurement. These marketplaces, led by major providers such as Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud, feature services exclusively available on their own platforms, introducing limitations for end users. This paper explores the convergence of cloud computing, blockchain, and semantics, envisioning a marketplace where cloud providers can offer their cloud services and cloud consumers can efficiently discover, procure, and potentially resell these services. Semantic representations streamline service discovery and composition, enhancing interoperability. Blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens play pivotal roles in establishing a fully decentralized marketplace characterized by data verification and immutability. This enables autonomous contract validation and execution between cloud consumers and cloud providers, reducing reliance on intermediaries. This innovative fusion promises to reshape the landscape of cloud service procurement, making it more transparent and independent.
