Abstract
A cloud management node (102) in a public cloud (100) works together with a private management system (116) in a private cloud (114) to manage provisioning and access to cloud services from the private cloud (114). Private data does not need to be held or duplicated in the public cloud so that the data security is enhanced. The private management system (116) issues tokens for authorization so that user access to cloud services may be controlled. The cloud management node (102) receives provisioning requests from the private cloud (114) and selects and informs an appropriate service provider node (112) that a provisioning request is waiting. In examples an administrator at the private cloud (114) is able to manage cloud service access for many users in a simple effective manner and users are able to operate multiple cloud services from a single account.
