Abstract: Today's cloud software, especially cloud management software, faces a complex, distributed, cross platform environment with extremely diversified software components. Cloud Connection Pool (CCP) is a technique to obtain a connection in such an environment and is more complex than a traditional connection pool. CCP allows requesting components to establish connections to target components. CCP uses cloud mapping data that associates cloud components with each other and stores pool data that identifies connection pools for components (or “managing components”) that manage target components. In response to a request for a connection from a requesting component, the CCP determines a managing component that is associated with the requested target component and identifies (or creates) a connection pool that is associated with the managing component. The CCP then retrieves a connection from the connection pool and returns the connection to the requesting component.
