DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF WORKLOAD DEPLOYMENT UNITS ACROSS A PLURALITY OF CLOUDS

摘要

A method of selectively allocating a plurality of deployment units among a plurality of clouds. The method can include identifying a first context of a first deployment unit of a workload and identifying a second context of a second deployment unit of the workload. Based on the first context, a first of the plurality of clouds that satisfies at least one requirement indicated by the first context can be identified and the first deployment unit can be automatically allocated to the first cloud. Based on the second context, a second of the plurality of clouds that satisfies at least one requirement indicated by the second context can be identified, wherein the first cloud does not satisfy the requirement indicated by the second context, and the second deployment unit can be automatically allocated to the second cloud.

1. A method of selectively allocating a plurality of deployment units among a plurality of clouds, the method comprising:
identifying a first context indicating at least a first functional requirement or non-functional requirement of a first deployment unit within a workload, wherein the first deployment unit is a first asset of the workload selected from a group consisting of a first execution deployment unit, a first installation deployment unit and a first data deployment unit, and identifying a second context indicating at least a second functional requirement or non-functional requirement of a second deployment unit within the workload, wherein the second deployment unit is a second asset of the workload selected from a group consisting of a second execution deployment unit, a second installation deployment unit and a second data deployment unit; based on the first context, identifying a first of the plurality of clouds that satisfies the first functional requirement or non-functional requirement indicated by the first context and, via a processor, automatically allocating the first deployment unit to the first cloud; and based on the second context, identifying a second of the plurality of clouds that satisfies the first functional requirement or non-functional requirement indicated by the second context, wherein the first cloud does not satisfy the second functional requirement or non-functional requirement indicated by the second context, and automatically allocating the second deployment unit to the second cloud.
