Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing and tracking the deployment of a cloud control within a cloud network where creation of the cloud control may be distributed between different user devices in the cloud network. A cloud control is implemented using a control policy which is composed of one or more components that provide functions for executing a functionality of the cloud control. A component workflow manager delegates control of the one or more components to different user devices and tracks the development workflow of the components as they progress through workflow states until they are ready for deployment within the cloud network.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for tracking deployment of a cloud policy in a cloud network, the method comprising:

while preventing the deployment of the cloud policy in the cloud network:
identifying a first component and a second component associated with the control policy, wherein the first component is configured to implement a first function of the control policy and the second component is configured to implement a second function of the control policy;
delegating control of a first component of the control policy to a user device, wherein the control of the first component includes a privilege for modifying the first component;
receiving, from the user device, a first status update to the first component, wherein the first status update comprises a first deployment state;
updating a workflow state of the first component to reflect the first deployment state;
receiving, from the user device, a second status update to the first component, wherein the second status update comprises a second deployment state;
updating the workflow state of the first component to reflect the second deployment state, wherein the second deployment state indicates that the first component is ready for deployment;
retrieving the second component from a component database;
combining, responsive to updating the workflow state of the first component to reflect the second deployment state, the first component and the second component into the control policy;
and
permitting deployment of the control policy in the cloud network responsive to the combining.

receiving, from the user device, a first status update to the first component, wherein the first status update comprises a first deployment state;
updating a workflow state of the first component to reflect the first deployment state;
receiving, from the user device, a second status update to the first component, wherein the second status update comprises a second deployment state;
updating the workflow state of the first component to reflect the second deployment state, wherein the second deployment state indicates that the first component is ready for deployment;
retrieving the second component from a component database;
combining, responsive to updating the workflow state of the first component to reflect the second deployment state, the first component and the second component into the control policy;
and
permitting deployment of the control policy in the cloud network responsive to the combining.
