1Ease of operation
If users manually select cloud services from multiple cloud environments, then they can choose specific services, but the complexity and difficulty of selection increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud resource management system as an intermediary layer between users and multiple cloud environments. This system provides a unified interface that abstracts the complexity of different cloud providers, allowing users to select and manage cloud resources without directly interacting with each cloud environment's unique interface and configuration options.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud resource management system implements a universal interface that works across multiple cloud environments simultaneously. It provides multi-functional capabilities including resource discovery, comparison, selection, and management across diverse cloud providers through a single unified system, eliminating the need for users to learn and manage each cloud environment separately.
2Manufacturing precision
If the cloud resource management system computes and evaluates multiple resource combinations across different cloud environments, then the quality of resource allocation improves, but the computational complexity and time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-discovering and cataloging available cloud resources from multiple environments before actual allocation is needed. It pre-computes compatibility relationships and resource characteristics, so when a user needs cloud resources, the system can quickly retrieve and evaluate pre-processed information rather than computing everything from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by transforming diverse cloud resource specifications into standardized parameters that can be efficiently compared and evaluated. It converts different cloud providers' unique resource descriptions into a common parameter space, enabling rapid computation and comparison of resource combinations without dealing with the full complexity of each provider's specific parameters.
