Just a few quick things ... how much has this been prototyped, i.e. how sure are you that it will work in practice? Bear in mind that the timescale for GLUE updates is very long, so if anything is wrong you'll have to live with it!

Your new objects are all called "CloudComputeXxx", it would probably be better to have "CloudComputing" to be consistent with the existing objects.

The way you have Benchmark won't work, you have two different Benchmark classes. You need to modify the existing one to relate to the cloud objects.

The naming of ToCloudStorageService is maybe not ideal since it suggests that it relates to a CloudStorageService object, which isn't true.

You have a new ToCloudComputeService object which relates to StorageService and StorageAccessProtocol, so you need to update the definitions of those classes with the inverse relation.
