Hybrid Cloud Service Manager API Orchestration

The patent introduces an API orchestration layer that acts as an intermediary between multiple cloud service providers and the end user. This orchestration layer provides a unified interface for managing APIs across different cloud types (public, private, hybrid) and technologies, abstracting the underlying complexity while maintaining service delivery capability. The mediator coordinates API calls, manages authentication, and handles resource allocation across heterogeneous cloud environments without exposing complexity to users.

The patent implements a universal API management framework that can handle multiple cloud service types and technologies through a single interface. This framework provides multi-functional capabilities including API authentication, rate limiting, routing, and monitoring that work across diverse cloud providers. The universal interface allows service providers to manage heterogeneous cloud resources without needing separate management systems for each cloud type.

The unified interface acts as a mediator that simplifies user interaction with complex multi-cloud systems. It provides abstracted operations for common tasks such as service provisioning, resource allocation, and API management, hiding the underlying complexity of coordinating multiple cloud providers. The interface translates simple user commands into complex orchestration sequences that manage multiple clouds seamlessly.

The patent segments the complex orchestration system into modular functional components, each handling specific aspects of multi-cloud management. These modules include authentication handlers, resource allocators, API routers, and monitoring agents. This segmentation allows the system to maintain complexity internally while presenting a simplified unified interface to users, as each module can be independently managed and configured.

The patent implements a universal resource management framework that provides consistent management capabilities across multiple cloud types including public, private, and hybrid clouds. The framework offers unified resource provisioning, allocation, and monitoring functions that work identically regardless of the underlying cloud infrastructure. This allows service providers to manage diverse cloud resources through a single system with consistent policies and procedures.

The patent uses parameter-based configuration to adapt the management system to different cloud types and technologies. By defining resources and services through configurable parameters rather than hard-coded logic, the system can accommodate various cloud providers and service models without structural changes. Parameters such as authentication methods, resource quotas, and pricing models can be adjusted to match different cloud environments while maintaining a consistent management interface.
