Resource Manager Integration in Cloud Computing Environments - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18517896 titled 'Resource Manager Integration in Cloud Computing Environments

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that includes both public-cloud and private-cloud computing environments, with a resource manager providing an interface for clients to interact with virtual machines in the public cloud, and a VM resource provider translating requests from the public cloud interface to the private cloud virtual machine interface.

  • The system includes first host machines with a public-cloud computing environment and second host machines with a private-cloud computing environment.
  • The resource manager on the first host machines provides a public-cloud resource interface for clients to interact with virtual machines.
  • At least one of the second host machines includes private-cloud virtual machines.
  • The first host machines also have a private-cloud VM resource provider that interacts with the private-cloud virtual machines.
  • The VM resource provider translates requests for virtual machine operations from the public cloud interface to the private cloud virtual machine interface.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in hybrid cloud environments where organizations need to seamlessly manage resources across both public and private clouds.

Problems Solved

This system solves the problem of integrating public and private cloud resources, allowing for efficient management and utilization of resources in a hybrid cloud environment.

Benefits

The system provides flexibility and scalability for organizations by allowing them to leverage both public and private cloud resources based on their needs and requirements.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications for this technology include cloud service providers offering hybrid cloud solutions to their customers, enterprises managing their cloud resources efficiently, and organizations with specific security or compliance requirements utilizing private cloud resources alongside public cloud services.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing hybrid cloud management solutions that aim to integrate public and private cloud resources for organizations. Another could be technologies that facilitate communication and resource management between different cloud environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

In one embodiment, a system includes first host machines implementing a public-cloud computing environment, wherein at least one of the first host machines includes a resource manager that provides a public-cloud resource interface through which one or more public-cloud clients interact with one or more virtual machines, and second host machines implementing a private-cloud computing environment, wherein at least one of the second host machines includes one or more private-cloud virtual machines, wherein at least one of the first host machines further includes a private-cloud VM resource provider through which the resource manager interacts with the private-cloud virtual machines, wherein the VM resource provider translates requests to perform virtual machine operations from a public-cloud-resource interface to a private-cloud virtual machine interface, and the private-cloud virtual machines perform the requested virtual machine operations in response to receiving the translated requests from the VM resource provider.
