Abstract

Aspects of the present invention include a method of dynamically routing requests within multiple cloud computing networks. The method includes receiving a request for an application from a user device, forwarding the request to an edge server within a content delivery network (CDN), and analyzing the request to gather metrics about responsiveness provided by the multiple cloud computing networks running the application. The method further includes analyzing historical data for the multiple cloud computing networks regarding performance of the application, based on the performance metrics and the historical data, determining an optimal cloud computing network within the multiple cloud computing networks to route the request, routing the request to the optimal cloud computing network, and returning the response from the optimal cloud computing network to the user device.

CROSS-REFERENCES

[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 245,582, filed Sep. 26, 2011, entitled “DYNAMIC ROUTE REQUESTS FOR MULTIPLE CLOUDS,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.RELATED APPLICATION

[0002] This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 245,601, filed Sep. 26, 2011, entitled “EDGE-BASED RESOURCE SPIN-UP FOR CLOUD COMPUTING”, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for any and all purposes.BACKGROUND

[0003] Presently, compute resources (i.e., applications, etc.) within a cloud provider's network are spun-up in a cluster (e.g., servers which are aggregated in a centralized location, a datacenter, etc.). All requests are load-balanced back to that cluster. Unfortunately, such an implementation does not necessarily provide the best performance or experience for end users who may, for example, be located far away from the centralized cluster.

[0004] This problem is furthe...
