  • Patent number: 11044154
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system displays a user interface that includes cloud environment configuration parameters on a display. Each of the cloud environment configuration parameters is selectable by a user and corresponds to a new cloud environment. The system receives a set of user selections from the user that selects at least one of the cloud environment configuration parameters. Then, the system generates a recommended cloud profile based, at least in part, on the set of user selections, and configures the new cloud environment based on the recommended cloud profile.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10389586
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system receives a set of cloud requirements corresponding to a cloud environment and analyzes the set of cloud requirements using a set of machine logic based rules to generate a recommended cloud profile that is based, at least in part, on the set of cloud requirements and includes configuration setting values. In turn, the system configures configurable parameters of the cloud environment according to the configuration setting values of the recommended cloud profile.
