论文摘要
云拍卖会为云VM分配提供具有成本效益的策略。大多数现有的云拍卖只是假设拍卖师是可信赖的，因此可以轻松实现拍卖的公平性。但是，实际上，这种可信赖的拍卖师可能不存在，公平性是不平凡的保证。在这项工作中，我们首次提出了基于区块链的分散云VM拍卖和贸易框架。我们意识到该系统中参与者（例如云提供商和云用户）的拍卖公平和贸易公平性，这可以确保每一方的利益只要遵循协议，就不会遭受任何损失。此外，我们通过本地区块链和以太坊官方测试区块链实施系统，进行实验模拟，并证明系统的可行性。
Cloud auctions provide cost-effective strategies for cloud VM allocation. Most existing cloud auctions simply assume that the auctioneer is trustable, and thus the fairness of auctions can be easily achieved. However, in fact, such a trustable auctioneer may not exist, and the fairness is non-trivial to guarantee. In this work, for the first time, we propose a decentralized cloud VM auction and trade framework based on blockchain. We realize both auction fairness and trade fairness among participants (e.g., cloud provider and cloud users) in this system, which guarantees the interest of each party will not suffer any loss as long as it follows the protocol. Furthermore, we implement our system through the local blockchain and Ethereum official test blockchain, carry out experimental simulations, and demonstrate the feasibility of our system.
