Abstract: Techniques for virtual Representational State Transfer (REST) interfaces are provided. A proxy is interposed between a client and a REST service over a network. The proxy performs independent authentication of the client and provides credentials to the client and for the client to authenticate to the REST service using a REST service authentication mechanism. The proxy inspects requests and responses and translates the requests and responses into formats expected by the client and the REST service. Moreover, the proxy enforces policy and audits the requests and responses occurring between the client and the REST service over the network.

Abstract: Techniques for policy and identity-based workload provisioning are presented. Identities for requestors or workloads and identities for workloads are tied to specific policies. The specific policies are evaluated based on a stage of readiness for resources within a resource pool and based on resource identities for the resources within the resource pool. Resources are then dynamically provisioned based on the identity-based policy evaluation to handle workloads from the resource pool.

Abstract: Techniques for multi-condition resource planning are presented. A principal interactively establishes a resource plan for a workflow by making selections for the workflow. Impacts that are forecasted based on the selections are dynamically presented to the principal and the principal is permitted to make adjustments. The finalized resource plan results in the workflow that is subsequently processed according to policy.

Abstract: Techniques for distributed workflow processing are presented. A first workflow system and a second workflow system process actions of a workflow. The workflow is coordinated through one or more identity services. The identity services also establish trusted and secure communications between the first and second workflow systems.
