Abstract
Cloud computing is becoming more and more popular compared to grid computing due to its virtualization capabilities, flexibility and elasticity. In order to keep up with this trend, WS-PGRADE/gUSE has been extended with the possibility to use cloud infrastructures in workflows, either directly as described in Chap. 4 or via the CloudBroker Platform service. In this chapter we present the integration of WS-PGRADE/gUSE and the CloudBroker Platform, which is particularly useful in the case of accessing commercial clouds and/or using preregistered applications in commercial and academic clouds.
