Publication number: 20150195128Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for supporting automation of configuration management of a virtual machine applicable to a multi-cloud environment. In accordance with an embodiment, the apparatus includes an interface unit for receiving configuration management information or information of a virtual machine to which configuration management is to be applied. A configuration management verification unit verifies the received configuration management information, and combines the virtual machine information with configuration management information corresponding to the virtual machine. A configuration management distribution unit distributes the configuration management information combined with the virtual machine information to a cloud in which the virtual machine is created.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2015Publication date: July 9, 2015Applicant: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Nam-Woo KIM, Sung-In JUNG, Jin-Mee KIM, Dong-Jae KANG

Publication number: 20150134485Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cloud service broker apparatus and method for providing a cloud service using the broker apparatus, which provide an optimal cloud service for a cloud service user through negotiations between the cloud service user and a cloud service provider. The cloud service broker apparatus includes an operation information management unit for examining a demand entered by a cloud service user. A broker intermediary unit detects a cloud service based on the demand for which verification has been completed by the operation information management unit, and sends a request for positioning of the cloud service for the cloud service user to a cloud service provider that provides the detected cloud service. A life cycle management unit monitors a cloud service positioned in and used by the cloud service user at a request of the broker intermediary unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Jin-Mee KIM, Sung-In JUNG, Dong-Jae KANG, Nam-Woo KIM
