Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products for configuring private cloud computing resources to run a workload in the execution context of a dynamically configured virtualization system. Embodiments commence upon receiving a computing workload demand specification from a resource demander. The workload demand specification is delivered to a brokerage service. The brokerage service in turn identifies an available computing resource of a private cloud provider that matches up with the received computing workload demand specification. A virtualization system that is dynamically configured for the specified workload is installed on some or all of the available computing resources of the private cloud provider. Once the virtualization system is configured, installed and able to accept a workload for execution, the computing workload is scheduled to run in the virtualization system.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by a processor cause the processor to perform acts comprising:

receiving a computing workload demand from a resource demander, wherein the computing workload demand is received at a brokerage service that matches availability of a computing resource of a private cloud provider to the computing workload demand;
invoking the brokerage service to identify a private cloud resource that is suitable to perform the computing workload, wherein the private cloud resource is not owned by the resource demander;
sending a virtualization system to install on the computing resource of the private cloud provider;
and
delivering at least a portion of the computing workload to run within the virtualization system.
