Resource configuration using topology diagram

A system comprising:

• a memory configured to store a set of instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to be in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the set of instructions to:
• receive a request to employ a set of resources to perform a task, wherein the requested set of resources comprises at least one configurable resource;
• identify at least one configurable resource among the set of requested resources;
• identify at least one input object associated with the at least one configurable resource, wherein the identification of the at least one input object includes referencing a resource database having mappings between a plurality of configurable resources and a plurality of input objects;
• attach the at least one input object to the at least one configurable resource;
• display a topology diagram on a user interface, wherein the topology diagram comprises:
• a set of static image objects representing the requested set of resources;
• a set of input objects associated with a subset of the image objects, wherein the subset of image objects represents the at least one configurable resource attached with the at least one input object;
• receive a set of parameter values entered via the set of input objects of the topology diagram displayed on the user interface;
• validate that the set of parameter values is acceptable, wherein the set of parameter values is acceptable when the set of parameter values are being used to configure the at least one configurable resource to cause the identified set of resources to perform the task successfully;
• in response to the validation, autonomously configure the at least one configurable resource with the set of parameter values;
• and
• output a notification, on the user interface displaying the topology diagram, indicating that the requested set of resources having the at least one configurable resource configured with the set of parameter values is capable of performing the task.

A computer program product of configuring a set of resources, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing element of a device to cause the device to:

• receive a request to perform a task;
• identify a set of resources to perform the task, wherein the set of resources comprises at least one configurable resource;
• identify at least one input object associated with the at least one configurable resource, wherein identifying the at least one input object includes referencing a resource database having mappings between a plurality of configurable resources and a plurality of input objects;
• attach the at least one input object to the at least one configurable resource;
• display a topology diagram on a user interface, wherein the topology diagram comprises:
• a set of static image objects representing the identified set of resources;
• the at least one input object attached to at least one static image object representing the at least one configurable resources, the at least one static image object being among the set of static image objects;
• receive a set of parameter values entered via the at least one input object attached to the at least one static image of the topology diagram displayed on the user interface;
• validate that the set of parameter values is acceptable, wherein the set of parameter values is acceptable when the set of parameter values are being used to configure the at least one configurable resource to cause the identified set of resources to perform the task successfully;
• in response to the validation, autonomously configure the at least one configurable resource with the set of parameter values;
• and
• output a notification, on the user interface displaying the topology diagram, indicating that the identified set of resources having the at least one configurable resource configured with the set of parameter values is capable of performing the task.
