Abstract
A computing system implemented method, in one embodiment, can include a cloud control module receiving a constraint for cloud architecture. In addition, the method can include the cloud control module receiving a plurality of cloud service provider capabilities. Furthermore, the method can include the cloud control module filtering the plurality of cloud service provider capabilities to identify a cloud service provider capable of satisfying the constraint. Moreover, the method can include the cloud control module outputting an instruction for a resource from the cloud service provider.
Claims20
A computing system implemented method comprising:
- a cloud control module receiving a constraint for cloud architecture;
- said cloud control module receiving a plurality of cloud service provider capabilities;
- said cloud control module filtering said plurality of cloud service provider capabilities to identify a cloud service provider capable of satisfying said constraint;
- and
- said cloud control module outputting an instruction for a resource from said cloud service provider.
A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- a cloud control module receiving a constraint for cloud architecture;
- said cloud control module receiving a plurality of cloud service provider capabilities;
- said cloud control module filtering said plurality of cloud service provider capabilities to identify a cloud service provider capable of satisfying said constraint;
- and
- said cloud control module outputting an instruction for a resource from said cloud service provider.
A computing system implemented method comprising:
- a cloud control module receiving a capability constraint for cloud architecture;
- said cloud control module receiving a plurality of cloud service provider capabilities;
- said cloud control module filtering said plurality of cloud service provider capabilities to identify a cloud service provider capable of satisfying said capability constraint;
- said cloud control module determining size to source from said cloud service provider;
- and
- said cloud control module outputting a number of virtual appliances to provision from said cloud service provider.
