Abstract
In some examples, a system receives connectivity information indicating how a plurality of resources of a computing environment are connected. Based on the connectivity information, the system infers a first collection of tags to associate with the plurality of resources. The system receives one or more further collections of tags provided from one or more sources, and the system generates, based on the first collection of tags and the one or more further collections of tags, an output collection of tags. The system performs a management action in the computing environment using the output collection of tags.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a system to:
- receive connectivity information indicating how a plurality of resources of a computing environment are connected;
- infer, based on the connectivity information, a first collection of tags to associate with the plurality of resources, wherein the first collection of tags comprises a first tag associated with a first group of resources from among the plurality of resources, and a second tag associated with a second group of resources from among the plurality of resources;
- receive a second collection of tags provided from a source;
- generate, based on the first collection of tags and the second collection of tags, an output collection of tags;
- and
- perform a management action in the computing environment using the output collection of tags.
A system comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the hardware processor to:
- receive connectivity information indicating how a plurality of resources of a computing environment are connected;
- infer, based on the connectivity information, a first collection of tags to associate with the plurality of resources, wherein the first collection of tags comprises a first tag associated with a first group of resources from among the plurality of resources, and a second tag associated with a second group of resources from among the plurality of resources;
- generate, using a tag from the first collection of tags, a further tag that is part of a second collection of tags;
- assign the further tag to an entity that uses a set of resources of the plurality of resources;
- and
- perform a management action in the computing environment with respect to the entity using the further tag.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising a hardware processor, connectivity information indicating how a plurality of resources of a computing environment are connected;
- inferring, by the system based on the connectivity information, a first collection of tags to associate with the plurality of resources, wherein the first collection of tags comprises a first tag associated with a first group of resources from among the plurality of resources, and a second tag associated with a second group of resources from among the plurality of resources;
- generating, by the system based on a rule, a rule-based tag that is added to a second collection of tags;
- converting, by the system, a plurality of collections of tags, including the first and second collections of tags, into combined tag information including tags from the plurality of collections of tags;
- and
- performing, by the system, a management action in the computing environment using one or more tags from the combined tag information.
