Cloud orchestration engine

A computer-implemented method for orchestrating an instantiation of a system solution on a plurality of clouds, the method comprising:

• accessing, by one or more computing devices, a blueprint associated with the system solution and for instantiating the system solution on the plurality of clouds, the blueprint comprising the steps of:
• generating a blueprint for instantiating a system solution on a plurality of clouds, the generating the blueprint further comprising:
• sending an invitation to use the system solution to a potential user, and
• generating a particular blueprint providing a system solution based on information provided via a form to the potential user in response to a reply to the invitation;
• building, by one or more computing devices, an infrastructure for the system solution by instantiating one or more first components in a first cloud and instantiating one or more second components in a second cloud;
• installing and configuring, by the one or more computing devices, software on at least one of the first cloud or the second cloud;
• and
• converging, by the one or more computing devices, the first cloud and the second cloud such that at least one first component of the first cloud is configured to directly communicate with at least one second component of the second cloud;
• wherein the building, the installing, the configuring, and the converging are determined based at least in part on the blueprint.

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices storing compute readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform:
• receiving a request from a user for a system solution;
• generating a blueprint for instantiating a system solution on a plurality of clouds, the generating the blueprint further comprising:
• sending an invitation to use the system solution to a potential user, and
• generating a particular blueprint providing a system solution based on information provide via a form to the potential user in response to a reply to the invitation;
• instantiating one or more first components in a first cloud and instantiating one or more second components in a second cloud based on the particular blueprint;
• installing and configuring software on at least one of the first cloud or the second cloud based on the particular blueprint;
• converging the first cloud and the second cloud such that at least one first component of the first cloud is configured to directly communicate with at least one second component of the second cloud based on the particular blueprint;
• and
• verifying, via the orchestration engine, that the installation is successful.
