Abstract: Abstract Cloud computing has become a promising paradigm as next generation computing model, by providing computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not need to know the location of physical resources interconnected across the globe providing such services. In such an environment, important issues as information sharing and resource/service discovery arise. In order to overcome critical limitations in centralized approaches for information sharing and resource/service discovery, this paper proposes a framework of a scalable multi-attribute hybrid overlay featured with decentralized information sharing, flexible resource/service discovery, fault tolerance and load balancing. Additionally, the proposed hybrid overlay integrates a structured P2P system with an unstructured one to support complex queries. Mechanisms such as load balancing and fault tolerance implemented in our proposed system to improve the overall system performance are also discussed. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed approach is feasible and stable, as the proposed hybrid overlay improves system performance by reducing the number of routing hops and balancing the load by migrating requests.
