METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING AND RESOLVING INFRASTRUCTURE FAULTS IN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for any party in a cloud ecosystem (cloud providers of such resources, the intermediate management software for such resources, and the end user of such resources) to detect and resolve faulty resources synchronously or asynchronously, before said faults adversely affect the users' workloads. The system requests a service or set of one or more resources within a cloud, automatically checking the infrastructure for various faults that would cause it to be non-functional, including pre-defined and user-defined checks, and resolving them before including the infrastructure in the working service cluster of resources. The system presents an API to the user that returns only functional, production-quality resources that are not in a faulty state. An API that tests and resolves bad infrastructure can be registered during the request or a preceding/subsequent API call, removing the need for the end-user to deal with various types of infrastructure faults.

主权项

1. A process for returning infrastructure in a closed computing system that will keep the infrastructure in use below any limits imposed by the provider, comprising:
determining the limits of resources to be provided to a user allocating and providing infrastructure resources to a user, while checking to determine whether the resources are within the limits of resources, to thereby continue and keep the resources within resource limits.
