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.

Cloud-based resource identification and allocation

A computer-implemented method includes executing instructions stored on a computer-readable medium. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a server hosting a strongly-typed object-oriented application programming interface (API), a single API call to request data from the strongly-typed object-oriented API, where the single API call includes a tuple having multiple object types, obtaining the requested data and returning the requested data.

Systems and methods for applying dynamic relational typing to a strongly-typed object-oriented API

A provider definition represents software that implements the semantics of one or more operations on an object in an object-oriented system. A provider represents a specific instance of a provider definition. One or more providers implement operations for objects in the system. A component of the system called the provider registry maintains a mapping of providers and operations as defined by the provider definitions. When handling a request to invoke a operation on an object, the system dynamically dispatches to the correct provider based on this mapping. Where more than one provider are registered as implementing the desired operation on an object, techniques are disclosed for selecting a provider to perform the desired operation.

Dynamic dispatch for distributed object-oriented software systems

A system and method of operation is disclosed describing migration, management, and operation of applications and servers from customer data centers to cloud computing platforms without modification to existing environments or user access procedures. A cloud isolation layer operates as a virtual layer on the cloud platform, enabling server operation in a virtual environment that appears the same as the prior local environment. A cloud software image and a local cloud gateway act to redirect existing addressing from the local environment to the cloud implementation through secure network and data paths. A local management application provides a control interface and maps and manages the local environment and utilized cloud resources.
