Automated Cloud Infrastructure Topology Simulation and Implementation

A method for automatically generating and simulating cloud infrastructure topologies, the method comprising:

• providing, by a computing device, a user interface configured to display a cloud infrastructure topology;
• receiving, by the computing device, from a user, and via the user interface, one or more user inputs that comprise one or more modifications to one or more elements of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• determining, by the computing device and based on the one or more user inputs, a modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• in response to the user input, generating simulation data by determining estimated resources used by each element of the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology during simulation of the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• identifying, by the computing device and based on the simulation data, one or more recommended changes to the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• providing, as input to a first trained machine learning model, information indicating the one or more recommended changes, wherein the first trained machine learning model was trained using first training data comprising associations between topology change recommendations and human-friendly descriptions of the topology change recommendations;
• receiving, as output from the first trained machine learning model and in response to the input, a narrative description corresponding to the one or more recommended changes;
• causing output, by the computing device and in the user interface, of the narrative description corresponding to the one or more recommended changes to the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• and
• based on a determination that a first modification of the one or more modifications to the one or more elements of the cloud infrastructure topology relates to a security vulnerability, causing a cloud service provider to automatically implement the first modification.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions configured to automatically generate and simulate cloud infrastructure topologies, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• provide a user interface configured to display a cloud infrastructure topology;
• receive, from a user and via the user interface, one or more user inputs that comprise one or more modifications to one or more elements of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• determine, based on the one or more user inputs, a modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• in response to the user input, generate simulation data by determining estimated resources used by each element of the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology during simulation of the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• identify, based on the simulation data, one or more recommended changes to the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• provide, as input to a first trained machine learning model, information indicating the one or more recommended changes, wherein the first trained machine learning model was trained using first training data comprising associations between topology change recommendations and human-friendly descriptions of the topology change recommendations;
• receive, as output from the first trained machine learning model and in response to the input, a narrative description corresponding to the one or more recommended changes;
• cause output, in the user interface, of the narrative description corresponding to the one or more recommended changes to the modified version of the cloud infrastructure topology;
• and
• based on a determination that a first modification of the one or more modifications to the one or more elements of the cloud infrastructure topology relates to a security vulnerability, cause a cloud service provider to automatically implement the first modification.
