Abstract

A processor receives service availability data for at least one service, where the service availability data indicates an amount time the at least one service was available and an amount of time one or more resources utilized in the service was available. A processor receives service configuration data for the service, where the service configuration data indicates one or more resource requirements of the at least one service. A processor determines one or more resource unavailability scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service. A processor determines one or more resource replacement scores for the one or more resources utilized in the service. A processor determines availability risk scores for the at least one service based on the one or more resource unavailability scores and the one or more resource replacement scores. A processor generates an indication of at-risk services of the at least one service.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, service availability data for at least one service, wherein the service availability data indicates (i) an amount time the at least one service was available and (ii) an amount of time one or more resources utilized in providing the service was available;
receiving, by the one or more processors, service configuration data for the service, wherein the service configuration data indicates one or more resource requirements of the at least one service;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more resource unavailability scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more resource replacement scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service based, at least in part, on an amount of replacement resource candidates for the one or more resources;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more resource unavailability scores and the one or more resource replacement scores;
and
generating, by the one or more processors, an indication of at-risk services of the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service exceeding a predetermined threshold.

4 more elements

A computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive service availability data for at least one service, wherein the service availability data indicates (i) an amount time the at least one service was available and (ii) an amount of time one or more resources utilized in providing the service was available;
program instructions to receive service configuration data for the service, wherein the service configuration data indicates one or more resource requirements of the at least one service;
program instructions to determine one or more resource unavailability scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service;
program instructions to determine one or more resource replacement scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service based, at least in part, on an amount of replacement resource candidates for the one or more resources;
program instructions to determine one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more resource unavailability scores and the one or more resource replacement scores;
and
program instructions to generate an indication of at-risk services of the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service exceeding a predetermined threshold.

5 more elements

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
and
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive service availability data for at least one service, wherein the service availability data indicates (i) an amount time the at least one service was available and (ii) an amount of time one or more resources utilized in providing the service was available;
program instructions to receive service configuration data for the service, wherein the service configuration data indicates one or more resource requirements of the at least one service;
program instructions to determine one or more resource unavailability scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service;
program instructions to determine one or more resource replacement scores for the one or more resources utilized in providing the service based, at least in part, on an amount of replacement resource candidates for the one or more resources;
program instructions to determine one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more resource unavailability scores and the one or more resource replacement scores;
and
program instructions to generate an indication of at-risk services of the at least one service based, at least in part, on the one or more availability risk scores for the at least one service exceeding a predetermined threshold.
