  • Patent number: 10778597
    Abstract: A multi-cloud orchestration system includes a computer executed set of instructions that communicates with multiple computing clouds and/or computing clusters each having one or more resources for executing an application. The instructions are executed to receive information associated with an application, allocate a resource pool to be used for executing the application in which the resource pool including at least one resource from each of the computing clouds and/or computing clusters. The instructions may be further executed to provision the resources to execute the application.

  • Patent number: 10298515
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for creating a tenant cloud are disclosed. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for creating a tenant cloud includes receiving a request for creating a tenant cloud, wherein the request includes a tenant cloud policy indicating at least one application for utilizing a tenant cloud, wherein the tenant cloud includes a set of resources configured to act as a single tenant computing environment. The method also includes determining, using the tenant cloud policy, a set of resources for the tenant cloud. The method further includes configuring the set of resources to act as the single tenant computing environment. The method also includes deploying the at least one application for utilizing the tenant cloud.

  • Patent number: 9935830
    Abstract: A cloud management system includes a computer executed application that generates an interface for management of the resources of a computing node by a cloud portal. The application receives an interface definition associated with the resource in which the interface definition includes information associated with one or more configuration operations to be performed on the resource. Using the interface definition, the application generates a cloud portal interface component that communicates with a cloud portal to translate the one or more configuration operations to a specified protocol, and generates a resource endpoint component that receives the configuration operations from the cloud portal interface component, translates the configuration operations to a format suitable for use by the resource, and transmits the configuration operations to the resource for configuring the resource.

  • Patent number: 9928103
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for managing distributed computing systems using an event driven framework are disclosed. In some examples, a method includes receiving, at an event handler executing on a distributed computing system, events from various sources executing on the distributed computing system. The method includes consolidating, at an event consolidator executing on the distributed computing system, the events into a consolidated event. The method includes determining, at a script executor executing on the distributed computing system, that a script is configured to be executed in response to receiving the consolidated event and, in response, executing the script.

  • Patent number: 9898471
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for generic source control for orchestration workflows. An example method may include receiving orchestration workflow information from an orchestration workflow engine. The received orchestration workflow information may be in a native file format. The received orchestration workflow information may be converted from a native file format to a predefined format. A request to check in the converted orchestration workflow information may be received, and responsive to receiving the request, the converted orchestration workflow information is stored in a source control system. A request to check out the converted orchestration workflow information may be received from a client computer, and, responsive to receiving the request, orchestration workflow change information may be generated, which indicate changes that have been made to the orchestration workflow information. The orchestration workflow change information may be sent to the client computer.
