(1) The document discusses the evolution of cloud computing paradigms from hybrid clouds to federated and fog clouds, which require a new approach. (2) It proposes a Cloud Visitation Platform (CVP) that provides local hardware awareness and allows VMs to discover and utilize local resources, breaking from traditional cloud models. (3) The CVP could be implemented on different levels - as a federation box connecting to other clouds, as a pocket box providing local fog computing, or embedded in IoT devices. This would help cloudify various hardware from data centers to sensors.

Clouds: Big Paradigm Shifts
1. Hybrid Clouds 02 ➔ Federated/Fog Clouds 05
◦ heterogeneous environments is the biggest issue 04
2. Live Migration ➔ Population Management 03
3. the blackbox of virtualization ➔ Local Hardware Awareness 01
◦ this one actually breaks the existing practice in clouds

(3) Local Hardware Awareness
• traditional: only the Main Storage -- same for offload in hybrid clouds 02
• required: VMs should be able to discover and use local resources --
again, the CDN case

cloud platforms (I use xen)
• APIs: split between VM
tools and RESTful APIs

abstraction of hardware
functionality
