Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, in many cloud systems, the virtual view does not show the physical allocation
Also, existing solutions inherently assume a certain level of trust between components that cannot be assumed in a public cloud environment
Among the possible exploits is the unauthorized use of available services in order to: mount a denial of service attack; access another cloud user's confidential data; and / or incur unauthorized expenses

Embodiment Construction

[0023] For convenience, the detailed description has the following sections:

[0024] Ⅰ. Definition of Cloud Computing

[0025] Ⅱ. Detailed realization of the embodiment of the present invention

[0026] Ⅰ. Definition of Cloud Computing

[0027] The following definitions are taken from the "Draft NIST Working Definition of Cloud Computing" by Peter Mell and Tim Grance, dated October 7, 2009.

[0028] Cloud computing is a model for convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly deployed with minimal administrative costs or interaction with service providers and released resources, such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. This cloud model increases availability and includes at least five characteristics, at least three service models, and at least four deployment models.

[0029] The characteristics are as follows:

[0030] On-demand self-service: Cloud consumers can unilaterally and autom...

Abstract

A system that leverages the Operational Support System(s) (OSS) and Business Support system(s) (BSS) of a (e.g., public) computing Cloud with a service to automate virtual instance restarts. A failed virtual instance is detected within the Cloud computing environment, and a request for a new virtual instance is received in response thereto. Upon receiving the request, an entitlement of a user associated with the failed virtual instance is tested. A set of authentication calls and checks are deployed to ensure the integrity of the requests, as well as the authorization of the requester for the resource use. Assuming testing is passed, a countdown timer associated with the failed virtual instance will be decreased. When the countdown timer reaches a predetermined threshold (e.g., zero), the new virtual instance will be started, the failed virtual instance will be terminated, and the countdown timer will be reset / restarted by instance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to cloud computing. More specifically, the present invention relates to launching virtual instances in a cloud computing environment. Background technique [0002] The cloud computing environment is an enhancement to the original grid environment, so that multiple grids and other computing resources can be further abstracted through the cloud layer, so that completely different devices appear in front of end users as a single seamless resource pool. These resources may include, for example, physical or logical computing engines, servers and devices, device memory, storage devices, networks, business applications and other software, and the like. [0003] In a typical cloud environment, a consumer will have a corresponding virtual "consumer" instance through which to implement the desired functionality. These instances occasionally fail (for example, due to corruption, attacks, etc.). Existing solutions require...
