Multi-cloud resource scheduler

A method for scheduling a start time and shutdown time for an online cloud resource associated with a multi-cloud resource scheduler, the method comprising:

• receiving, through a user interface, a request from a first user to access a multi-cloud resource scheduler,
• wherein the multi-cloud resource scheduler is connected to an online cloud resource;
• granting, to the first user, access to the multi-cloud resource scheduler;
• receiving, through the user interface, instructions from the first user to establish a start time and a shutdown time of the online cloud resource connected to the multi-cloud resource scheduler;
• based on the instructions, establishing an availability of the online cloud resource for access by a second user;
• and
• responsive to the second user accessing the online cloud resource after the shutdown time, sending a notification to the second user after a pre-determined time period requesting confirmation that the second user is still accessing the online cloud resource.

A system comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory storing computer executable instruction that when executed by the processor cause the system to carry out actions comprising:

• receiving, through a user interface, a request from a first user to access a multi-cloud resource scheduler,
• wherein the multi-cloud resource scheduler is connected to at least one online cloud resource;
• responsive to the request from the first user, validating credentials of the first user to access the multi-cloud resource scheduler,
• based upon the validating of the credentials of the first user, providing access to the multi-cloud resource scheduler to the first user;
• receiving, through the user interface, instruction from the first user to establish a recurring start time and a recurring shutdown time of the at least one online cloud resource connected to the multi-cloud resource scheduler;
• and
• based on the instructions, establishing an availability of the at least one online cloud resource for access by a second user;
• and
• responsive to the second user accessing the at least one online cloud resource after the shutdown time, sending a notification to the second user after a pre-determined time period requesting confirmation that the second user is still accessing the at least one online cloud resource.
