Abstract: An example method for provisioning data volume for a virtual compute instance may include receiving a request to provision a data volume for a virtual compute instance. The request may specify a size of the data volume, a type of the data volume, and a first input/output operations per second (IOPS) value for the data volume. Further, the method may include determining a recommended IOPS value for the data volume by applying a logic to the specified size, the specified type, and the first IOPS value. Furthermore, the method may include provisioning the data volume for the virtual compute instance with the specified size, the specified type, and the recommended IOPS value.

Abstract: The current document is directed to an infrastructure-as-code (“IaC”) cloud-infrastructure-management service or system that automatically segregates resource descriptors into category-associated files. In a first mode of operation, an automatic segregator receives one or more raw specification-and-configuration files and partitions the resources specified in the one or more raw specification-and-configuration files into category-associated resource groups. The specifications for the resources that are then stored in category-associated files that may, in turn, be stored in category-associated subdirectories of a file-system directory. In a second mode of operation, the automatic segregator transforms a first type of specification-and-configuration files within a first file-system directory into a second type of equivalent specification-and-configuration files within a second file-system directory.

Abstract: The current document is directed to improved methods and improved cloud-infrastructure deployment systems that efficiently allocate and provision virtual networks during cloud-template-directed cloud-infrastructure deployment. The improved cloud-infrastructure deployment systems provide higher-granularity cloud-template specifications of virtual networks as well as the assignment of a priority to each project with respect to which cloud-infrastructure is deployed. The improved methods provide for concurrent cloud-infrastructure deployments, prioritization of concurrent cloud-infrastructure deployments, and reservation of networks based on network-resource specifications of increased granularity prior to allocation and provisioning of network resources.
