1. A system for controlling operation of a cloud computing environment comprising a storage cloud (S-cloud) and a computing cloud (C-cloud), the system comprising:

  • a repository for storing data regarding characteristics of the cloud computing environment, wherein the stored data includes policy notations designating compliance or noncompliance of the stored data with policy, wherein the stored data is generated in accordance with a prospector policy and comprises S-cloud operational characteristics data, C-cloud operational characteristics data, S-cloud reputation data, and C-cloud reputation data, wherein S-cloud reputation data comprises at least one of (i) S-cloud usage data, (ii) S-cloud failover data and (iii) S-cloud redundancy data, and wherein C-cloud reputation data comprises at least one of (i) C-cloud usage data, (ii) C-cloud failover data and (iii) C-cloud redundancy data;

    an analyst module for analyzing the stored data according to risk specifications in combination with external report information regarding the cloud computing environment and for providing results of the analysis to a controller comprising a processor, wherein the controller evaluates the provided analysis results and issues instructions for controlling operation of the cloud computing environment based on the evaluating, wherein the controller comprises an operations controller, the operations controller evaluating policy, cloud specifications and compute specifications along with the analysis results to determine whether desired operational characteristics of the cloud computing environment are being realized, wherein the issued instructions comprise instructions for modifying job spawning and distribution processes of the cloud computing environment as indicated by the evaluating.
