METHODS AND SYSTEMS THAT AUTOMATICALLY BIND ATTRIBUTE VALUES TO RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250023780 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS THAT AUTOMATICALLY BIND ATTRIBUTE VALUES TO RESOURCE IDENTIFIERS

Original Abstract Submitted

the current document is directed to methods and systems that automatically bind an attribute value, within a resource descriptor in a cloud-infrastructure-specification-and-configuration file, that references a parent resource descriptor via a resource identifier to the resource identifier in the parent resource descriptor. one implementation of attribute-value binding is employed in an infrastructure-as-code (“iac”) cloud-infrastructure-management service or system that automatically generates parameterized cloud templates that represent already deployed cloud-based infrastructure, including virtual networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topologies. the iac cloud-infrastructure manager provides an infrastructure-discovery service that accesses a cloud-computing facility to obtain information about already deployed cloud infrastructure and that generates a textual description of the deployed infrastructure, which the iac cloud-infrastructure-manager then transforms into a set of parameterized cloud-infrastructure-specification-and-configuration files, a resource_ids file, and a parameters file that together comprise a parameterized cloud template.
