  • MANAGING SERVICABILITY OF CLOUD COMPUTING RESOURCES
    Publication number: 20120265879
    Abstract: The management of serviceability in a cloud of computing resources. The computing resources available in the cloud are represented for access control purposes as a hierarchy of nodes. Upon receiving a request to perform an action on a computing resource, the associated hierarchical node that controls the action with respect to the requestor is identified. Then, the associated access privilege of that hierarchical node is identified. In some embodiments, if it is determined that the requestor has rights to perform the action on the computing resource, the action is facilitated.
