Abstract
A hosted resource management system is described herein that provides systems and methods whereby a cloud-based tenant can define a logical model that allows the tenant to work with cloud-based entities in a manner that aligns with the tenant's own purpose and thinking. The system then reflects this model in a set of management tools and access paradigms that are provided to the cloud-based tenant. Each division in the logical model is termed a scope, and can include various types of cloud-based entities. Each of these scopes may contain similar cloud-based entity types, but because of the organization provided by scopes the tenant can manage these cloud-based entities according to the view and model that the tenant defines. Thus, the hosted resource management system provides a way of managing cloud-based entities that is intuitive for cloud-based tenants and facilities easier management of large-scale applications with many cloud-based entities.
