A cloud resource control circuitry may provide an automatic, self-managed, and a real-time elasticity in an active cloud stack including a software stack. The cloud resource control circuitry particularly adjusts cloud computing resources allocated to the active cloud stack based on real-time remote monitoring of resource utilization of the software stack. The resource adjustment may be performed in a stepwise fashion, in a pipelined manner as to the various layers of a software stack, and using hierarchical approach as to levels of cloud computing resources (e.g., task/level, server level, virtual machine/cloud level), to provide a more efficient cloud computing environment.

Self-managed intelligent elastic cloud stack

A cloud control and management circuitry may provide both static rule based and intelligent dynamic backups of a cloud computing environment. The cloud control and management circuitry may monitor the operating status of the cloud computing environment, perform additional analytics on the monitored status, and provide an intelligent policy that is responsive to various levels of the computing entities of the cloud computing environment, and causes automatic backup to prevent unrecoverable and potentially unexpected failures. The cloud control and management circuitry further provide a uniform interface for automatically and intelligently controlling and predicting backup of the computing environment based on disparate cloud computing platforms.

Intelligent backup and recovery of cloud computing environment

Techniques are described for unified identity and access management (IAM) across multiple applications in a distributed (e.g., cloud) computing environment. Implementations provide for IAM across multiple applications through use of a single, unified IAM tool including an IAM interface. The IAM tool can manage user identity and user access rights for multiple applications in the platform environment. The IAM tool can also employ a unified IAM database, which stores user profiles that each describes user access rights for a user in one or more applications. Through use of the unified IAM tool, an operator can access a single interface to manage user identity and access privileges across multiple applications which may have their own identity management interfaces, with user roles in different applications mapped through use of an equivalency matrix in some cases. The IAM tool can be used to add, remove, or edit user access privileges for multiple applications.

Cross-application identity and access management

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for provisioning an analytics platform. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining a manifest for a platform to be deployed where the manifest specifies machines and tools to deploy on the machines, determining an order to deploy the tools on the machines based on the manifest, selecting, based on the manifest file, tool deployers that are configured to deploy particular tools on machines from among multiple tool deployers, and deploying the tools on the machines with the tool deployers that are selected and in accordance with the order that is determined.
