20150074279 | ORCHESTRATING HYBRID CLOUD SERVICES - A technique includes providing a first interface to manage a plurality of cloud services that are provided by a plurality of cloud resources that form a hybrid cloud. Each of the cloud resources is associated with an application programming interface. The technique includes using the first interface to orchestrate the cloud services, where the orchestration includes using the first interface to orchestrate the application programming interfaces to allow at least one cloud resource management function provided by the first interface to be performed across at least two of the cloud resources. | 03-12-2015 |
20150160989 | EXECUTION OF END-TO-END PROCESSES ACROSS APPLICATIONS - An orchestrator executes an end-to-end process across applications. An message broker exchanges information among the orchestrator and the processes of the applications. Adapters perform protocol and interface translations for information communicated between the message broker and the respective applications. | 06-11-2015 |
20150161681 | FULFILLING A REQUEST BASED ON CATALOG AGGREGATION AND ORCHESTRATED EXECUTION OF AN END-TO-END PROCESS - Catalogs that describe respective offerings for fulfillment by respective applications, are aggregated to form an aggregate catalog. A request relating to at least one of the offerings is received based on content presented from the aggregate catalog. In response to the request, an orchestrated execution of an end-to-end process is performed to fulfill the request relating to the at least one offering, the executing of the end-to-end process comprising calling at least one of the applications. | 06-11-2015 |
20150163179 | EXECUTION OF A WORKFLOW THAT INVOLVES APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES OF DATA CENTERS - A service exchange includes an orchestrator to execute a workflow that involves a plurality of applications and services of a plurality of data centers. A message broker is to exchange messages between the orchestrator and the applications. Adapters are to perform protocol and interface translations for information communicated between at least some of the applications and the message broker. | 06-11-2015 |
20150295781 | CLOUD OBJECT - A cloud designer can generate a cloud object. The cloud designer can interact with an interface to provide a common design user experience (UE) for designing cloud elements on different layers of a cloud with a common syntax. The common syntax can be employable to express each cloud element of the cloud and to express relationships between cloud elements within and across layers of the cloud. | 10-15-2015 |
20150295844 | ASYNCHRONOUS FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGEMENT OF IAAS - A system includes an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) layer to provide a set of infrastructure services to manage computing resources in a cloud computing environment. The system includes a service framework layer, separate from the IaaS layer, the service framework layer comprising an asynchronous interface to communicate with the IaaS layer and to create a framework service to extend the IaaS layer in response to a command from an upper tier service, the framework service to employ the asynchronous interface to utilize an infrastructure service from the set of infrastructure services. | 10-15-2015 |
20150304175 | BINDING OF APPLICATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE BLUEPRINTS - A system includes an application blueprint to characterize a given application to enable lifecycle management of the given application on a cloud. An infrastructure blueprint is provided to characterize cloud infrastructure resources on the cloud and enable lifecycle management of the cloud infrastructure resources. A binding manager binds the application blueprint and the infrastructure blueprint to generate an aggregate blueprint based on the application blueprint and the infrastructure blueprint, wherein the aggregate blueprint enables the given application to utilize an instance of provisioned cloud resources specified by the infrastructure blueprint for lifecycle management on the cloud. | 10-22-2015 |
20150304231 | GENERIC RESOURCE PROVIDER FOR CLOUD SERVICE - Systems and methods are provided for providing a cloud service. A service design defining the cloud service is generated and stored in memory during a design stage of cloud service provision. A specific provider for the defined cloud service is selected from a plurality of available specific resources during a subscription stage. The cloud service defined in the service design is provided using the selected specific provider. | 10-22-2015 |
20150304240 | CLOUD SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - 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. | 10-22-2015 |
