A cloud management system can maintain a set of “virtual groups,” and assign different “virtual groups” to particular computing resources of both local and external clouds. The “virtual groups” can be based on the particular usage (type of virtual machine, application of the virtual machine, function of the virtual machine, and the like) of the members in the groups and / or can be based on the specifications of the computing resources (type and amount of computing resources). When instantiating virtual machines in local or external clouds, the cloud management system can utilize the “virtual groups” to identify and allocate the computing resources.

A cloud management system can utilize an abstraction library for management of clouds. The abstraction library can abstract out the differences between different cloud management schemes. The cloud management system can utilize the abstraction library to perform various processes associated with the virtual machines regardless of the cloud management scheme of the virtual machine. The cloud management system can format, configure, and convert virtual machines to the cloud management scheme of the cloud in which the virtual machine will be instantiated. The cloud management system can utilize the abstraction library to enable communication with virtual machines that are formated according to a different cloud management scheme than the communication.

A cloud computing access gateway includes a cloud management module configured to store a cloud provider and information of a cloud computing service provided by the cloud provider. A user terminal interface module is configured to provide an interface with a user terminal, receive a service request indicating a cloud computing service from the user terminal, and send a result of the cloud computing service to the user terminal. A request analysis module is configured to analyze the received service request to identify the cloud computing service. A cloud selection module is configured to select a best cloud provider based on the cloud computing service. A cloud interface module is configured to provide an interface with the cloud provider, transmit the service request to the best cloud provider, and receive the result of the cloud computing service from the best cloud provider.

The invention provides a cloud management platform based on a micro-service architecture. The cloud management platform comprises a user interface layer for processing a function request instruction of a terminal user, at least one cloud micro-service module for providing function services for the terminal user via an API interface and a message queue cluster for completing information interaction between the user interface layer and the cloud micro-service modules, wherein the cloud micro-service modules are service components into which cloud application functions are decomposed by a function boundary. In the cloud management platform based on the micro-service architecture, the cloud application functions are decomposed into the service components by the function boundary; each service component corresponds to one cloud micro-service module; the plurality of cloud micro-service modules are utilized to realize the functions of the cloud applications; due to the own characteristics of micro-services, the cloud management platform based on the micro-service architecture is capable of realizing real-time deployment; besides, micro-services have independent running processes so that each cloud micro-service in the cloud management platform can be independently deployed, and therefore, the deployment efficiency of the cloud management platform is improved.

The invention discloses an access control system based on smart phones and a control method of the access control system. The access control system comprises smart phones, a cloud management server and an access control terminal, wherein the access control terminal and the smart phones are connected with the cloud management server through the Internet. The access control system based on the smart phones and the control method of the access control system have the beneficial effects that hardware-free terminal and unmanned management of the access control system can be achieved by entering and exiting the access control system in a manner of using dynamic access codes by virtue of the smart phones of users, so that the convenience is brought for the users and visitors; different access control permissions are set for different users, the visitors can go in and out in the range of the access control permissions by virtue of the dynamic access codes sent by the users, the visitors are monitored by the GPS (global positioning system) of the access control system, and the dynamic access codes are invalid after being used, so that the safety of the access control system is greatly improved; the access control system is low in cost and wide in range of application, and can be used in places such as banks, hotels, management of parking lots, machine rooms, office rooms, residence communities, factories and the like.

A method for auto-scaling the infrastructure capacity of an application in response to client demands includes providing an application configured to run on an application infrastructure comprising a plurality of server nodes and to be accessed by clients via a first network. Next, providing traffic management means directing traffic from the clients to the server nodes of the application infrastructure. Providing monitoring means gathering performance metrics of the application and metrics of the application infrastructure. Providing controlling means configured to change the application infrastructure. Next, monitoring the performance metrics of the application and the metrics of the application infrastructure via the monitoring means thereby obtaining metrics information and then changing the application infrastructure based on the metrics information via the controlling means. Finally directing network traffic targeted to access the application to server nodes of the changed application infrastructure via the traffic management means.

A cloud management system can receive rules for altering the virtual machines based on demands on the virtual machines and / or computing resources supporting the virtual machines. The cloud management system can receive data from the internal monitoring agents and / or external monitoring agents and to determine when the conditions of the rules are met. Once the conditions are met, the cloud management system can migrate the virtual machines to an external cloud.

To manage and communicate with virtual machines in an external cloud regardless of the cloud management scheme of clouds, the cloud management system can utilize an abstraction library. The abstraction library can be configured to abstract out the differences between different cloud management schemes utilized by the cloud management systems and an independent cloud management system of the external cloud.
