Methods and Systems for Restricting Cloud Resource Names

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a user input including a candidate name for a system resource of a system;
• provide a similarity check query to a vector matching engine containing a dataset of keywords derived from system, the similarity check query including the candidate name;
• receive a score from the vector matching engine, the score indicating a degree of similarity between the candidate name and at least one keyword of the dataset contained in the vector matching engine;
• compare the score to a predetermined threshold range;
• reject the candidate name in response to the score being outside the predetermined threshold range;
• and
• assign the candidate name to the system resource in response to the score being within the predetermined threshold range.

A cloud platform comprising:

• a plurality of cloud endpoints, each cloud endpoint configured to perform a respective cloud service;
• cloud resources, wherein each cloud resource is assigned to a respective cloud endpoint for performing the respective cloud service of the respective cloud endpoint;
• and
• a cloud name evaluation service configured to:
• receive a user input including a candidate cloud resource name;
• provide a similarity check query to a vector matching engine containing a dataset of keywords derived from cloud system, the similarity check query including the candidate cloud resource name;
• receive a score from the vector matching engine, the score indicating a degree of similarity between the candidate cloud resource name and at least one keyword of the dataset contained in the vector matching engine;
• and
• accepting or rejecting the candidate cloud resource name for use in the cloud platform based on the score.
