Appl. No.:

16/934735

Inventors:

- Boston MA, US
Andrew MANN - Cedar Park TX, US
Chris DERAMUS - Oak Hill VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 12/26

Abstract:

A method of managing a configuration of a computer network system includes creating of an instance of a server by a user through an interface of a public cloud service. A management process detects the existence of the instance by regularly polling the cloud service for infrastructure data and analyzing the infrastructure data to determine that the newly created instance exists. The method also includes testing parameters of the server indicated in the infrastructure data, which parameters are fully determined by the request, against predefined one or more infrastructure policies, whereby the parameters are available and testable against the policies during the generating, but are tested after the request is enacted to create the instance without creating policy enforcement encumbrance on the user when the user creates the new instance of the server.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A management process monitors a cloud, such as a hybrid cloud, for utilization policy compliance rather than burdening requesting users. A hybrid cloud system requests an action directly of a cloud interface process that processes the request using a management process or externally, such as directly through a cloud service. Users complying with utilization policies are able directly to implement actions or resource allocations without the burden of policy enforcement processes intervening at a time an action is requested.
