Abstract
Operations include executing operations across different third-party computing clouds provided by different vendors. A cloud discovery process allows for a virtual machine, executing on a computing cloud, to discover resources on a different computing cloud provided by a different vendor. The cloud discovery process is implemented by one or more cloud agents executing within third-party clouds. A cloud agent, corresponding to a third-party computing cloud, may use a cross-cloud repository that is maintained by a tenant to discover resources in other third-party computing clouds provided by different vendors. An Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing a particular third-party computing cloud may be exposed to a cloud agent of another third-party computing cloud provided by a different vendor. The cloud agent may trigger operations on the particular third-party computing cloud based on events detected by the cloud agent in the third-party computing cloud corresponding to the cloud agent.
