Solution Overview

Problem

Data centers face challenges in optimizing resource utilization and configuration for customers, leading to inefficiencies in system performance, security, and cost, due to the complexity of managing virtualized computing resources across multiple instances and availability zones.

Innovation Solution

A resource analysis service is provided that monitors customer resources, generates recommendations for optimization based on usage metrics, best practices, and customer priorities, and allows customers to create and manage templates for consistent and efficient resource provisioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If virtualization technologies are used to provide virtual resources spanning multiple physical resources, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a resource analysis service as an intermediary layer between customers and virtualized computing resources. This service automatically analyzes resource usage metrics, generates optimization recommendations, and manages template configurations, thereby reducing the complexity burden on customers while maintaining high resource utilization efficiency through automated intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If customers directly manage and configure virtualized computing resources, then flexibility and control are improved, but operational difficulty and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration flexibilityVSAvoidoperational ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The resource analysis service implements self-service capabilities by automatically monitoring resource usage metrics, generating optimization recommendations without customer intervention, and enabling customers to deploy pre-configured templates with single-click operations. This maintains configuration flexibility while dramatically reducing operational complexity and time requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The service performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing resource usage patterns, pre-generating optimization recommendations, and pre-configuring template-based resource deployments. This allows customers to benefit from optimized configurations without having to manually perform complex analysis and configuration tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If comprehensive resource monitoring and analysis are implemented, then system performance optimization is improved, but computational overhead and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem performance optimizationVSAvoidanalysis processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The resource analysis service applies partial action by focusing monitoring and analysis efforts on the most critical resource metrics and configurations that have the greatest impact on performance. Rather than analyzing every possible parameter, the service identifies and prioritizes key optimization opportunities, reducing processing time while maintaining effective performance optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

In a provider network, recommendations pertaining to resources associated with a customer of the provider network is determined. The recommendations are determined based on an analysis of the resources, a requested use of the resources, and industry best practices associated with the requested use, architectural guidance, cost parameters, and policies, among others. An interface configured to provide the recommendations pertaining to the resources and the requested use is provided. A template based on the recommendations is provided and associated with the customer. The template is usable to configure an instantiation of a resource by the provider network.
