【Abstract】There have been dramatic increases in industrial investment and growing research interests in Internet of Things over the past few years. Driven by the application demand from Internet of everything in the future, the collaboration between traditional cloud and edge cloud is already on the way to provide better service to diverse users. However, due to the high marginal operation and maintenance costs, there remains a need for collaboration between traditional clouds. JointCloud computing is a new computing paradigm that supports collaboration within heterogeneous clouds, which is a complex problem that is difficult to manage using the traditional methodology of "top-down, decomposition, and reduction" in the benign construction of the JointCloud ecosystem. In this article, we first describe the inherent mechanism behind the constructional evolution of the JointCloud ecosystem, which details the inner workings of its elements and the general principals of how these various elements influence each other. We then propose a series of forward-looking, feasible operational methods to support the constructional evolution of the JointCloud ecosystem that incorporate efficient development methods, data-driven operations, AI-assisted decision making and so on. Finally, a case study of a cross-cloud migration deployment is used to illustrate the scientific basis of the systems inherent mechanism, as well as the efficacy of the supporting methods.
