sell premium computing services
这里的premium指的是高价的， 倒未必是高级的。

trusted federations of “public clouds” (where anyone can buy capacity).
由（计算能力悉听尊购的）公共云所组成的具有公信力的联盟。

move about mostly within clouds controlled by a single company (“private clouds”) or trusted federations of “public clouds” (where anyone can buy capacity).
原译：虚拟机似乎更可能主要在单一公司掌控的“私有云”或可信联盟的“公有云”内四处迁移。任何人均可购买 “公有云”的计算能力。
Y版改译：由（计算能力悉听尊购的）公共云所组成的具有公信力的联盟。
该句补充完整，应是within clouds controlled by a single company (“private clouds”) or clouds controlled by trusted federations of “public clouds” (where anyone can buy capacity).
clouds controlled by trusted federations of “public clouds”字面上的意思是“由‘公有云’组成的可信联盟掌控的云内”，其实简化一下，也就是“可信联盟的‘公有云’”，这么处理，正好与上一句的“单一公司掌控的‘私有云’”结构对称，互为对比。因此就这么处理了。
另google一下，“可信联盟”这种说法很常见，有个组织就叫“中国可信计算联盟”。
(where anyone can buy capacity)译为（计算能力悉听尊够）很好，谢谢。

App Engine
是否应该翻译为应用引擎（application engine)

查了下，维基上的解释是：Google App Engine (also used by the acronym GAE) is a platform for developing and hosting web applications in Google-managed data centers. It was first released as a beta version in April 2008.
Google App Engine is cloud computing technology. It virtualizes applications across multiple servers and data centers.[1] Other "cloud"-based platforms include offerings such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure Services Platform. App Engine differs from services like Amazon Web Services, though, in that AWS is Infrastructure as a Service while App Engine is Platform as a Service.
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of used resources. Fees are charged for additional storage, bandwidth, or CPU cycles required by the application.[2]

这表示Google App Engine不是一个提供云计算服务的公司，而是PaaS类型的云计算平台。TE原文的同位语是another cloud-computing provider，这里的provider若理解为供应商是不对的，应该是供应平台。其实SpotCloud是一种新兴现货市场，也是一个云计算能力供应平台。
谢谢指正。

我认为在这里的premium 应该译为“优质”更贴切一些，根据上下文，本人觉得“高价” 不是很合适。 请您再看看~·

The idea is to attract firms that also sell premium computing services, which might want to offload unused capacity cheaply but do not want to cannibalise their main business.

结合上下文，这里的premium译为“高价”比“高级、优质”更合适。理由请看下一句，即“这些公司可能想廉价抛售闲置不用的计算能力，但又不想喧宾夺主，损及主营业务”，一般来说，如果一个公司对主营业务产品有个定位，如果定位比较高档或高级，相应定价就较高，而且为了保持这种高质高价的品牌形象，绝少打折降价。因此它若要尽快脱手闲置不用的业务，只能靠打折，但又不想影响主营的高价业务的销售，所以就藏着掖着，也就是原文的 the firms offering capacity do not have to reveal their identity。这里的premium其实是跟后面的cheaply对应的，而“高级、优质”的业务有时不一定定价高，不然怎么会有“价廉物美”一说呢。所以综上所述，译为“高价”是最恰当的。
这里代Y版作答，未知是否恰当，供参考。
