Publication number: 20140250232Abstract: This disclosure relates to creating a resource and for configuring a resource (314) in cloud computing. A processor receives a source resource identifier of a source resource (304) in a source cloud (302) and sends a request to create a target resource (314) in the target cloud (312). The processor then receives a target resource identifier of the created target resource (314) and stores an association (500) between the target resource identifier (504) and the source resource identifier (502). Using the stored association allows to determine a target resource identifier for a resource identifier and therefore configuration of target resources, where the configuration depends on target resource identifiers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2012Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: National ICT Australia LimitedInventors: Anna Liu, Kevin Lee, Jorke Odolphi, Hiroshi Wada
