What about legal implications? What data does the DC get? What if abuse is done by the customer or a court order is served to the IP owner? What about very different ToS between the source providers? What about different laws for content in every country and your US base?

This has huge implications within most EU countries (and the US, and others) where it is required (and everywhere else it is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to at least have a signup name and IP) to have at least *SOME* sort of customer data or get raided/closed after  "abuse".

This "cloud market place" already looked bad when OnApp announced it years ago...

The DC (Supplier) knows who the federation trader/host is, so if it's served by any abuse notice, it can contact the trader via the federation messaging system and emergency contacts, the trader/host of course knows who the purchaser is and what IP/details they signed up with (in this case the host being Cloud.net).

This is not any different that regular hosting, lets take an example shared or VPS hosting, if you are using a softlayer server to sell hosting, the datacenter (on this case Softlayer) do not get client info from yourself, if your customer is abusing the system, the DC contacts the host who then takes appropriate action, this is no different.

As for different SLA/TOS per datacenter, that is achieved by being transparent, each location must display different SLA and any different terms (when applicable), the end user purchasing on such a marketplace must be made aware of it, so it can determine if it will accept it or not.

The question nobody seems to bother asking is data protection, if a client of host A is being hosted on Host B's cloud, can they just look at his root password and login or reset it to allow themselves in ? (as you know, OnApp allows this for hosts, for troubleshooting or dealign with abuse), for that we have disabled some functions on the supplier side, to ensure they can't just walk into the VM of an end user they have not had a contractual agreement with, but the trader (the seller) can do it easily from their environment, and also put some strict TOS on the supplier contracts so they can't forcefully do it without due reason or breaking terms.

If a VM is abusing the system, DC's (supplier) can very easily turn it off of course.

The real success of "Marketplaces" as seen on other industries (such as travel, lodging, etc) has been defined by transparency, clients want the ability to have a wide choice, but also access to all the details to terms, performance and caveats to ensure they themselves are making an informed purchase.

But great questions, please keep them coming :)
