US 11,888,945 B2 · Identifying outdated cloud computing services

Abstract

A cloud tracking system may store configuration data separately for each account of multiple accounts that an entity has with a cloud computing provider and may aggregate the configuration data into a data structure that stores the configuration data together for the multiple accounts. The cloud tracking system may receive a request that includes a user identifier of a user associated with the entity and may search for the user identifier in the data structure. The cloud tracking system may identify a set of deployed cloud computing services associated with the user identifier based on searching for the user identifier in the data structure, wherein the set of deployed cloud computing services is associated with more than one account of the multiple accounts. The cloud tracking system may identify one or more deployed cloud computing services, of the set of deployed cloud computing services, that are outdated.

Dependent claims

A system for identifying outdated cloud computing services, the system comprising:

one or more memories;
and
one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
execute, based on a user identifier associated with an entity that has multiple accounts with a cloud computing provider, code to identify one or more accounts, of the multiple accounts, associated with the user identifier;
execute one or more functions, corresponding to the one or more accounts, that search configuration data for the user identifier, wherein each function, of the one or more functions, searches for the user identifier in a subset of the configuration data associated with an account, of the one or more accounts, corresponding to that function;
identify, based on executing the one or more functions, a set of deployed cloud computing services associated with the user identifier, wherein the set of deployed cloud computing services is associated with at least one account of the multiple accounts;
and
identify one or more deployed cloud computing services, of the set of deployed cloud computing services, that are outdated.

5 more elements

A method for identifying outdated cloud computing services, comprising:

receiving, by a system, a request that includes a user identifier of a user associated with an entity having multiple accounts with a cloud computing provider;
searching, by the system, for the user identifier in a data structure that stores configuration data for each account of the multiple accounts;
identifying, by the system, a set of deployed cloud computing services associated with the user identifier based on searching for the user identifier in the data structure, wherein the set of deployed cloud computing services is associated with more than one account of the multiple accounts;
and
identifying, by the system, one or more deployed cloud computing services, of the set of deployed cloud computing services, that are outdated.

2 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for identifying outdated cloud computing services, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to:
receive a user identifier of a user associated with an entity that has multiple accounts associated with a cloud computing provider;
execute one or more functions, corresponding to one or more accounts of the multiple accounts, to search a data structure for the user identifier, wherein each function, of the set of functions, searches for the user identifier using an account identifier associated with an account, of the one or more accounts, corresponding to that function;
identify, based on executing the one or more functions, a set of deployed cloud computing services associated with the user identifier;
identify one or more deployed cloud computing services, of the set of deployed cloud computing services, that are outdated;
and
output information that identifies the one or more deployed cloud computing services that are outdated.
