Distributed ledger for multi-cloud operational state

A method comprising:

• implementing a first ledger node of a first cloud;
• configuring the first ledger node to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of additional ledger nodes associated with respective additional clouds;
• obtaining in the first ledger node a transaction associated with a cloud-related operational state, wherein the cloud-related operational state comprises status information associated within the deployment of a given application on the first cloud;
• and
• broadcasting the transaction to the additional ledger nodes;
• wherein a cryptographic block characterizing at least the transaction is generated and entered into a blockchain distributed ledger collectively maintained by the first and additional ledger nodes;
• wherein the transaction is obtained from cloud application deployment software instantiated on the first cloud;
• and
• the method being performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory causes the processing device to:

• implement a first ledger node of a first cloud;
• configure the first ledger node to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of additional ledger nodes associated with respective additional clouds;
• obtain in the first ledger node a transaction associated with a cloud-related operational state, wherein the cloud-related operational state comprises status information associated within the deployment of a given application on the first cloud;
• and
• broadcast the transaction to the additional ledger nodes;
• wherein a cryptographic block characterizing at least the transaction is generated and entered into a blockchain distributed ledger collectively maintained by the first and additional ledger nodes;
• and
• wherein the transaction is obtained from cloud application deployment software instantiated on the first cloud.
