Abstract

Facilitating peer-to-peer cloud computing resource sharing utilizing a permissioned distributed ledger is provided. A request by a computational resource consumer for additional computational resources from a computational resource provider via a peer-to-peer decentralized network is detected. A computational resource exchange environment is generated to transfer the additional computational resources from the computational resource provider to the computational resource consumer in response to validating that the computational resource consumer is authorized to consume the additional computational resources and that the computational resource provider is authorized to transfer the additional computational resources to the computational resource consumer via the peer-to-peer decentralized network. The additional computational resources are transferred from the computational resource provider to the computational resource consumer for consumption via the computational resource exchange environment. The additional computational resources provided by the computational resource provider and the consumption of the additional computational resources by the computational resource consumer…
