DIFFERENTIATED SERVICE IDENTIFICATION IN A NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for differentiated service identification/exposure in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, input model criteria will be generated. Such criteria may (among other things): identify service categories based on contextual bindings and domain centric functions; identify inter-service dependencies for a given business model (BPM); and/or provide dynamic validation of services to be exposed/identified. Embodiments of the present invention may further analyze service exposure criteria to provide efficient and accurate service exposure decisions as well as validation of the service exposure. This approach allows for consistent service exposure determinations based on decision histories of similarly (2-dimensional) aligned services in the past. This approach further allows for a validation assessment that is based on actual metrics of service usage verses an estimated usage at the time of service implementation.

1. A computer-implemented method for differentiated service identification in a networked computing environment, comprising:
categorizing each candidate service of a set of candidate services into at least one category of a set of categories based on a service type corresponding to the candidate service using a configurable criteria list formed from inputs of previously categorized services, each candidate service of the set of candidate services being a cloud service of a cloud computing environment the requires qualification of a service; defining a set of exposure criteria for the set of categories; analyzing the set of exposure criteria based on a set of re-defined rules; generating a dynamic service litmus test (SLT) that is specific to the service based on the analysis of the exposure criteria; and applying the dynamic SLT to the set of candidate services.
