Cloud-Based Service Resource Provisioning Based on Network Characteristics

摘要

Provisioning a resource to provide a service based on network characteristics is disclosed. A request for a service may be received and network characteristics of current resources providing the service may be identified. If the network characteristics do not satisfy a load policy, a new resource is provisioned to provide the service. The location of the new resource may subsequently be transmitted. If the network characteristics do satisfy the load policy, then one of the current resources may be used to provide the service in response to the request.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to access a network service; identifying a network characteristic of current resources providing the network service; determining if the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies a load policy; provisioning, by a processing device, a new resource to provide the network service if the network characteristic of the current resources does not satisfy the load policy; and transmitting, to a server comprising records associated with the network service, a first location associated with the new resource if the network characteristic of the current resources does not satisfy the load policy.
