End-to-end configuration assistance for cloud services

A method implemented in a data processing system for end-to-end configuration assistance for cloud services, the method comprising:

• receiving a request from a client device for a solution assistant, wherein the solution assistant is configured to provide step-by-step guidance for configuring a plurality of cloud services to interoperate to produce a specified result;
• causing to be presented, on a display of the client device, a solution assistant user interface;
• providing, via the solution assistant user interface, the step-by-step guidance comprising a plurality of steps by:
• launching a configuration interface of a respective cloud service of the plurality of cloud services associated with a respective step of the plurality of steps;
• presenting step-by-step configuration information providing guidance for configuring the respective cloud service via the configuration interface;
• and
• receiving a confirmation indication from the client device that the respective cloud service has been configured according to the step-by-step configuration information;
• generating a summary report that includes a summary of the cloud services configured using the solution assistant;
• and
• causing to be presented, on the display of the client device, the confirmation summary report.

A machine-readable medium on which are stored instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a programmable device to perform functions of:

• receiving a request from a client device for a solution assistant, wherein the solution assistant is configured to provide step-by-step guidance for configuring a plurality of cloud services to interoperate to produce a specified result;
• causing to be presented, on a display of the client device, a solution assistant user interface;
• providing, via the solution assistant user interface, the step-by-step guidance comprising a plurality of steps by:
• launching a configuration interface of a respective cloud service of the plurality of cloud services associated with a respective step of the plurality of steps;
• presenting step-by-step configuration information providing guidance for configuring the respective cloud service via the configuration interface;
• and
• receiving a confirmation indication from the client device that the respective cloud service has been configured according to the step-by-step configuration information;
• generating a summary report that includes a summary of the cloud services configured using the solution assistant;
• and
• causing to be presented, on the display of the client device, the confirmation summary report.
