Crowd-sourced cloud computing

Logic encoded on one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable to:

• partition, in each of a plurality of first party computing resources, each first party computing resource into a first party end user partition and a first party crowd sourced cloud partition;
• install a crowd sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource;
• orchestrate, by a cloud provider computing system and each crowd sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource, cloud services over a communications network, wherein orchestrating comprises:
• by each crowd-sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource, via the communications network:
• registering at least one cloud service of the first party crowd source cloud partition of the first party computing resource with the cloud provider,
• receiving one or more requests for registered crowd sourced cloud services from the cloud provider computing system;
• provisioning each registered crowd sourced cloud service requested by the cloud provider computing system in the first party crowd source cloud partition of the first party computing resource, and
• operating each provisioned service;
• and
• by the cloud provider computing system,
• publishing each registered cloud service as available to crowd sourced cloud user computing systems,
• receiving one or more requests for cloud services from a crowd sourced cloud user computing system, and
• requesting, from a crowd sourced cloud application of a particular first party computing resource, a registered crowd sourced cloud service responsive to the request for cloud services from the crowd sourced cloud user computing system.

A system, comprising:

• a storage device;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to:
• partition, in each of a plurality of first party computing resources, each first party computing resource into a first party end user partition and a first party crowd sourced cloud partition;
• install a crowd sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource;
• orchestrate, by a cloud provider computing system and each crowd sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource, cloud services over a communications network, wherein orchestration comprises:
• by each crowd-sourced cloud application in each first party crowd source cloud partition of each first party computing resource, via the communications network:
• registering at least one cloud service of the first party crowd source cloud partition of the first party computing resource with the cloud provider,
• receiving one or more requests for registered crowd sourced cloud services from the cloud provider computing system;
• and
• provisioning each registered crowd sourced cloud service requested by the cloud provider computing system in the first party crowd source cloud partition of the first party computing resource, and
• operating each provisioned service;
• and
• by the cloud provider computing system,
• publishing each registered cloud service as available to crowd sourced cloud user computing systems,
• receiving one or more requests for cloud services from a crowd sourced cloud user computing system, and requesting, from a crowd sourced cloud application of a particular first party computing resource, a registered crowd sourced cloud service responsive to the request for cloud services from the crowd sourced cloud user computing system.
