Abstract: A method of facilitating autonomous computing within a cloud service includes generating a cloud service based on a lifecycle management topology, in which the cloud service is an autonomous management service, a self-management service, or combinations thereof. The method also includes establishing a number of management processes to be performed within the cloud service, in which the number of management processes comprise autonomous management processes, self-management processes, or combinations thereof. The cloud service includes an instantiation of the topology and a number of applications executable on the instantiation of the topology.

Abstract: In some examples, a marketplace system receives information from multiple service providers as part of onboarding of the multiple service providers with the marketplace system. Responsive to the onboarding, a cloud service created by the respective service provider is synchronized with the marketplace system. A marketplace catalog is linked with catalogs of the service providers, the linking including aggregating content of the catalogs into the marketplace catalog. Responsive to a request from a requester received through a portal of the marketplace system, at least one cloud service is identified using the marketplace catalog based on at least one search criterion of the request.

Abstract: In some examples, a system uses machine learning to perform a classification based on a pattern in collected monitoring data and configuration data of an information technology (IT) system associated with an onset of an issue, the monitoring data collected during an operation of the IT system, and the configuration data representing an architecture of the IT system. The system predicts, based on the classification, the issue before the issue occurs or before the issue is detected or reported, and generates an indication of the predicted issue.

Abstract: Managing the lifecycle of a cloud service modeled as a topology decorated by a number of policies includes with a processor, generating a topology or the realized topology, the topology or the realized topology representing a cloud service, associating a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology or the realized topology, and with a lifecycle management engine, updating the topology or the realized topology by associating a number of policies with the number of nodes within the topology or the realized topology.

Abstract: According to an example, a system may include an instance controller to manage service instances deployed on an infrastructure that facilitates data segregation and performance level compliance. The instance controller deploys a service instance of the service instances in a container and terminates the service instances in response to determining the service suite instance is idle based on the notification. Additionally, the system may deploy a component from the service instance from outside the container.

Abstract: In some examples, information of a service instance provisioned or modified by a first system distinct from a management system is received, where the provisioning or modification of the service instance by the first system is initially unknown to the management system. As part of a binding phase, a model of the service instance is inferred. The management system manages a lifecycle of the service instance using the model and the policy.

Abstract: A topology remediation method includes with a remediation engine, deriving a number of remediation actions based on a number of incidents within an instantiated topology, and with a lifecycle management engine, modifying the instantiated topology based on a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) determined to remediate the incidents.

Abstract: A system includes a cloud computing system. The cloud computing system includes a continuous delivery system to enable design and deployment of a cloud service in the cloud computing system. The cloud computing system also includes a cloud services system to enable access and consumption of a service offering associated with the cloud service by a user. The cloud computer system further includes a cloud service management system that is executed on a non-transitory computer readable medium. The cloud service management system can integrate the continuous delivery system and the cloud services system over the cloud computing system to provide the design and the deployment of the cloud service and publication of the cloud service to the cloud services system.

Abstract: A method of managing the lifecycle of cloud service modeled as a topology includes, with a processor, generating a topology, the topology representing a cloud service, associating a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology, associating a number of policies with a number of nodes within the topology, the policies guiding the lifecycle management of the nodes, and with a lifecycle management engine, executing the topology.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a cloud service modeled as a topology with a processor includes establishing a number of monitoring policies to monitor an instantiated topology, detecting an event at a node based on the number of monitoring policies, and processing the detected event based on the number of monitoring policies.

Abstract: A method of stitching an application model to an infrastructure template, comprising identifying patterns in the application model, identifying patterns in the infrastructure topology, and matching the patterns in the application model and infrastructure topology using policies associated with the application model. A system for stitching an application model to an infrastructure topology, comprising a stitching engine, and a number of infrastructure topology sources, in which the stitching engine, identifies patterns in the application model, identifies patterns in the infrastructure topology, and matches the patterns in the application model and infrastructure topology using policies associated with the application model.

A method of generating and tracking a realized topology, comprising deriving a realized topology from an instantiated topology, storing the realized topology in a realized topology system management (RTSM) database, and storing a data file representing an association of the realized topology with data describing attributes of a number of nodes on the realized topology and relationships between the nodes.

Abstract: Selecting resources for a cloud service can include defining a specific resource provider constraint parameter, determining a parameter value for the specific resource provider constraint parameter, analyzing a plurality of specific resource providers and selecting a specific resource provider from the plurality of available specific resource providers based on the analysis and using a best-fit model.

Abstract: In some examples, a service controller provisions an instance of a cloud service in response to receiving a request, where the service controller is provided with content including a call to be issued by the service controller to a compliance/monitoring service that performs a task selected from among monitoring the provisioned instance and determining compliance of the provisioned instance. The service controller issues the call to the compliance/monitoring service, the call including information regarding the provisioned instance, wherein the information is useable by the compliance/monitoring service in performing the task.

Abstract: An example method may include creating multiple instances of a marketplace platform, using a first instance of the marketplace platform to aggregate multiple catalogs of service vendors into an aggregated catalog of the first instance, and additional instances of the marketplace platform (reseller instances) to aggregate the aggregated catalog of the first instance (or the aggregated catalog of another reseller instance) into the aggregated catalog of the respective reseller instance into the aggregated catalog of the respective reseller instance. Each instance of the marketplace platform may be such that, when it is run by processing circuitry, it aggregates input catalogs into an aggregated catalog of the respective instance. Each instance of the marketplace platform may also include a customer portal that is to present offerings of the corresponding aggregated catalog for sale to users.
