Abstract
A matching system can provide matching services to users of cloud computing environments. The matching system can receive user requests for sets of services. Once received, the matching system can collect information about available cloud appliances. The matching system can match the cloud appliances with the user requested services and provide the user with information related to available cloud appliances that meet the user's request.
Claims18
A method for matching resource requests with cloud computing environments, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a request to instantiate a set of services in a cloud;
- collecting information about available cloud appliances;
- matching the requested set of services to at least one of the available cloud appliances based on the collected information;
- and
- providing the information about the matched at least one available cloud appliance to the user.
A method for matching resource requests with cloud computing environments, comprising:
- sending, from a user, a request to instantiate a set of services;
- receiving information about at least one available cloud appliance matching the requested set of services;
- and
- selecting the at least one available cloud appliance to instantiate.
A system for matching resource requests in a cloud computing environment, comprising:
- a network interface to at least one cloud computing system;
- and
- a processor communicating with the network interface and executing a matching module, the matching module configured to:
- receive, from a user, a request to instantiate a set of services;
- collect information about available cloud appliances;
- match the requested set of services to at least one of the available cloud appliances based on the collected information;
- and
- provide the information about the matched at least one available cloud appliance to the user.
