Dynamic resource configuration, management, and control

Abstract

Distributed resource configuration, management, and control are provided through a frontend user interface, an application programming interface (API), and backend operations. Collections of configured and managed resources provide cloud services from a cloud environment to enterprise servers. A user provides resource definitions for resource types through the user interface. The backend operations translates the definitions into one or more low-level resource management API calls, which cause the resources to be configured, deployed, reserved/created, and controlled on one or more distributed devices. The configured resource of the distributed devices provide the cloud services to the enterprise servers. In an embodiment, a single user session via the user interface permits the user to deploy multiple instances of a resources within a corresponding environment.
