Resource selection advisor mechanism

摘要

A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for generating resource selection information. The method includes monitoring at least one resource and at least one resource change performed by at least one user, analyzing a user request, wherein the user request comprises resource parameter information, searching for at least one similar resource request based on the user request and on monitored information and generating an output based on analysis of the user request, wherein the output comprises at least one candidate resource set and a corresponding rationale for selection of the at least one candidate resource set based on historical data.

1. A method for generating resource selection information, wherein the method comprises:
monitoring multiple cloud resources and multiple cloud resource changes performed by multiple users on a cloud; analyzing a user request submitted by a requesting user, wherein the user request comprises cloud resource parameter information; searching for at least one similar cloud resource request based on the user request and on said monitoring; and generating an output based on said analyzing of the user request to provide to the requesting user, wherein the output comprises:
at least one candidate cloud resource set; anda corresponding rationale for a proposed selection of the at least one candidate cloud resource set based on historical data associated with previous experiences of one or more additional users within a cloud context identified via said searching, wherein said corresponding rationale comprises (i) a stated resource-related reason, provided by a given one of the multiple users on the cloud separate from the requesting user, why the given user, in connection with at least one of the previous experiences, performed a given one of the multiple cloud resource changes that included a given cloud resource in the at least one candidate cloud resource set, and (ii) a determined impact, on at least computing capacity, of the given cloud resource change that included the given cloud resource in the at least one candidate cloud resource set;wherein the output is sorted according to user-configured criteria comprising robustness, scalability, and response time; wherein at least one of the steps is carried out by a computer device.
