Managing pre-provisioning of resources using bitemporal analysis

A compliance system for a cloud network, the compliance system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor configured to:
• store a current execution timeline of the cloud network, wherein the current execution timeline includes a current resource scope of the cloud network;
• receive, at the compliance system associated with the cloud network, a request to provision a new protocol in the cloud network;
• and
• prior to provisioning the new protocol in the cloud network, initiate, by the compliance system, a pre-provisioning evaluation of the new protocol, wherein to initiate the pre-provisioning evaluation, the processor is further configured to:
• duplicate the current resource scope to an alternate resource scope in an alternate execution timeline;
• provide provisioning data associated with the new protocol, wherein the provisioning data comprises information to provision the new protocol in the cloud network;
• run the new protocol on a hypothetical resource scope in a hypothetical execution timeline;
• and
• collect a result of running the new protocol on the hypothetical resource scope.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor in a compliance system of a cloud network, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• storing a current execution timeline of the cloud network, wherein the current execution timeline includes a current resource scope of the cloud network;
• receiving, at the compliance system associated with the cloud network, a request to provision a new protocol in the cloud network, wherein the compliance system comprises a maintenance module, a collection module, and an evaluation module;
• prior to provisioning the new protocol in the cloud network, initiating, by the maintenance module, a pre-provisioning evaluation of the new protocol, wherein initiating the pre-provisioning evaluation comprises:
• duplicating the current resource scope to a hypothetical resource scope in a hypothetical execution timeline;
• providing provisioning data associated with the new protocol, wherein the provisioning data comprises information to provision the new protocol in the cloud network;
• running the new protocol on the hypothetical resource scope in the hypothetical execution timeline;
• and
• collecting a result of running the new protocol on the hypothetical resource scope.
