  • Publication number: 20260050501
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing, broadcasting and remediating a health of a cloud computing infrastructure. A system includes a health assessment platform interfaced with components of the cloud computing infrastructure, and configured to perform an evaluation loop of the cloud computing infrastructure to produce a health assessment, the evaluation loop assessing one or more of a drift between desired and actual states, resource utilization, cost or spend controls, policy compliance, and planning or refactoring of the components of the cloud computing infrastructure. The health assessment platform is further configured to report the health assessment via notifications to a user interface associated with the cloud computing infrastructure. The system further includes a remediation engine that is interfaced with the user interface, the remediation engine configured to provide a user of the user interface with remediation recommendations and optimizations based on the reported health assessment.

  • Publication number: 20260003696
    Abstract: A system and method employed by an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool that is configured for defining IaC configurations comprising containers of interconnected components of a cloud computing platform. A system includes a graph generator configured to generate a graph of dependencies between the interconnected components of the cloud computing platform based at least in part on user-defined input-output relationships between the interconnected components. The IaC tool is configured to use the graph of dependencies to automatically determine a sequence of the provisioning or deployment of the interconnected components of the cloud computing platform. The system further includes a remote procedure call interface configured to enable communications between the IaC tool and the cloud computing platform, the remote procedure call interface further configured to enable the provisioning or deployment of the interconnected components of the cloud computing platform, in the determined sequence.
