Optimizing cloud service delivery within a cloud computing environment

摘要

This invention provides a system or method to provide dynamically packaged Cloud services to customers via a Cloud services registry. The Cloud services registry is dynamic and operates by polling different Cloud service providers and Cloud service databases to ensure that the Cloud services registry is up to date with the latest available Cloud services. The Cloud services registry is available for queries from Cloud customers and abstracts multiple Cloud service providers. By abstracting the Cloud services, the dynamic Cloud services registry creates a modular package of different services from different Cloud service providers based on the query and requested priority for services. The dynamic Cloud registry is dynamically updated based on the level of services that the provider has available. The dynamic registry determines what service best matches the requirements from a Cloud service request (CSR) and returns a personalized set of matching services.

1. A method for optimizing Cloud service delivery within a Cloud computing environment, comprising:
receiving a request for Cloud services from a Cloud customer in the Cloud computing environment, the request comprising a set of Cloud service requirements and relative priorities corresponding to each of the set of Cloud service requirements, wherein the request is a search request; determining a best match between a set of available Cloud services and the set of requirements; building a Cloud service package to fulfill the request, the Cloud service package comprising at least one Cloud service available from at least one Cloud provider and being a modular package of custom selected configurable hardware resources and custom selected configurable software computing resources having a plurality of different services automatically selected based on the set of Cloud service requirements, and the relative priorities among each of the set of requirements from a dynamically updated Cloud services registry containing a plurality of different services from a plurality of different Cloud service providers; providing, based on the determined best match, a result of the search request to the Cloud customer, abstracting the at least one Cloud service provider from the customer based on a Cloud naming taxonomy; and making the Cloud service package available to the Cloud customer.
