Cloud resource provisioning using blueprint chaining

A system for provisioning resources in a distributed computing system, the system comprising:

• a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to:
• organize a plurality of blueprints into a blueprint chain in an order, wherein each blueprint in the blueprint chain defines connections between each resource in each blueprint to form a schematic of a portion of an application, wherein a first resource of a first blueprint is associated with a first provider and a second resource of a second blueprint is associated with a second provider;
• identify a cloud account suitable for provisioning the blueprint chain from a plurality of cloud accounts associated with the first provider, the second provider, or both, wherein the cloud account is suitable based on an association of the cloud account with both the first provider and the second provider;
• and
• generate an orchestration to provision an instance of the application, the orchestration including a plurality of provisioning steps based on the blueprint chain and the identified cloud account, wherein an ordering of the plurality of provisioning steps depends on the order of the blueprints in the blueprint chain.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• organizing a plurality of blueprints into a blueprint chain stored in computer-readable memory, the blueprint chain connecting the blueprints in an order, wherein each blueprint in the blueprint chain defines connections between each resource in each blueprint to form a schematic of a portion of an application, wherein a first resource of a first blueprint is associated with a first provider and a second resource of a second blueprint is associated with a second provider;
• identifying a cloud account suitable for provisioning the blueprint chain from a plurality of cloud accounts associated with the first provider, the second provider, or both, wherein the cloud account is suitable based on an association of the cloud account with both the first provider and the second provider;
• and
• generating, using a processor connected to the computer-readable memory, an orchestration to provision an instance of the application, the orchestration including a plurality of provisioning steps based on the blueprint chain and the identified cloud account, wherein an ordering of the plurality of provisioning steps depends on the order of the blueprints in the blueprint chain.
