Abstract: Techniques for facilitating operations in hybrid cloud computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving, at a public cloud, a plurality of applications deployable in a private cloud and informing an access service of the public cloud computing system regarding the received applications deployable in the private cloud. The method also includes receiving, from a connection service of the private cloud, a request for a list of the received applications available at the public cloud and deployable in the private cloud. The method further includes in response to the received request, selectively identifying to the private cloud the list of applications based on a service subscription associated with the connection service.

Abstract: Techniques for streamlined secure deployment of cloud services in cloud computing environments are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method can include in response to receiving an instruction to deploy a cloud service in the cloud computing system, creating a deployment subscription to resources in the cloud computing system, the deployment subscription being owned by the deployment service and instantiating one or more computing resources accessible by the deployment service in the cloud computing system in accordance with the created deployment subscription. The method also includes retrieving one or more components of an application corresponding to the cloud service based on a manifest with the instantiated one or more computing resources and installing the retrieved one or more components of the application in the cloud computing system in accordance with an installation sequence identified in the manifest.

Abstract: Techniques for secure remote troubleshooting of a private cloud are disclosed herein. One example technique includes identifying that a received command is received via an established servicing connection between the private cloud and the public cloud. The example technique can then include determining, based on a list of access authorizations corresponding to the servicing connection, whether access to the computing service or computing resource to which the command is directed is allowed from the public cloud via the servicing connection. In response to determining that access to the computing service or computing resource is not allowed, the command is prevented from being executed in the private cloud, and thus avoiding unauthorized access to the computing service or computing resource in the private cloud.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods by which different services registered with cloud infrastructure may recover in case of disaster. Also directs procedures with which a resource provider may recover and rebuild its cloud resource information by scanning actual resources available. A resource provider will synchronize resources with a central service to get updated consumer and subscription information. In the scenario in which a central service fails and is recovered from backup, the central service should synchronize with resource providers to update its resource information.

Abstract: User interface integration across multiple clouds is achieved by hosting UI extensions for different services in the same browser window. The UI extensions are initialized by a shell with any necessary security context for the corresponding cloud. The shell provides versioning so that the newest version of the UI is presented to users for all versions of a service. A connector in a local cloud provides translation between APIs across different clouds.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide the capability to combine service installation and service registration in a cloud system. This process reduces the installation of a multi-tenant service into a single-step process. For example, a cloud system admin may simply install the new service and registration is accomplished automatically as part of the installation.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an API that provides metadata about a cloud service's endpoints in response to a single query. This allows a cloud service to advertise each of its endpoints through a common endpoint. The common endpoint may be present in each of a plurality of cloud services, thereby allowing each cloud service automatically discover metadata for other cloud services.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating usage tracking in hybrid cloud computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving, from a private cloud computing system, a request for uploading usage data to a storage in a public cloud computing system. The method can also include authenticating the received request based on a service subscription of the private cloud computing system, and upon authentication, providing the private cloud computing system with an access permission to store the usage data in the storage of the computing system. The method can further include receiving the usage data from the private cloud computing system submitted with the access permission and storing the received usage data in the storage of the public cloud computing system.
