Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for identifying resources to implement a service in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. In general, the disclosed methodologies analyze a cloud's ability to support a desired service while maintaining separation between the cloud's logical layers. For example, given a list of resources needed to implement a target service, a hierarchical plan may be generated. The plan may then be used by each layer to track and record the availability of various possible layer-specific resource selections. Since each layer may be permitted access only to that portion of the plan that is associated with, or applicable to, the specific layer, the logical separation between different layers may be enforced. As a consequence, each layer may implement its resource selection mechanisms in any desired manner.
