Crowd-sourced cloud computing resource validation

A system that supports a crowd-sourced resource manager, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving private resource inventories for private networks, each of the private resource inventories indicating an inventory of computing resources in each of the private networks, wherein the private networks are managed by different operators and include a home network including one or more user devices located in a residential infrastructure;
• deploying, on a host device in each of the private networks, an agent configured to determine an availability of the computing resources in each of the private networks;
• receiving, from each of the agents, availability metrics indicating the availability of the computing resources in each of the private networks, wherein the computing resources are provided by the one or more user devices in the home network;
• using the availability metrics, aggregating the available computing resources in a crowd-sourced cloud network;
• receiving, from an enrolled user of the crowd-sourced cloud network, a request for use of a particular resource of the computing resources;
• and
• providing the enrolled user with access to the particular resource that is in a particular private network of the private networks, wherein the particular resource is included in the one or more user devices in the home network.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a crowd-sourced resource manager, personal resource inventories for personal networks, each of the personal resource inventories indicating an inventory of computing resources in each of the personal networks, wherein the personal networks are managed by different operators and include a home network including one or more user devices located in a residential infrastructure;
• receiving availability metrics indicating the availability of the computing resources in each of the personal networks, wherein the computing resources are provided by at least one of the one or more user devices in the home network;
• using the availability metrics, aggregating the available computing resources in a crowd-sourced cloud network;
• receiving, from an enrolled user of the crowd-sourced cloud network, a request for use of a particular resource of the computing resources;
• and
• providing the enrolled user with access to the particular resource that is in a particular personal network of the personal networks, wherein the particular resource is included in the one or more user devices in the home network.
