    摘要: Techniques for presenting information indicating infrastructure security and compliance of services of a customer cloud environment to a customer-facing dashboard are disclosed. The information presented to the customer-facing dashboard is a subset of information available to operators associated with a cloud service provider (CSP). A tier-one dashboard service obtains information indicating infrastructure security and compliance of services in the customer cloud infrastructure environment. The tier-one dashboard service presents the information indicating infrastructure security and compliance to CSP operators on a CSP-facing dashboard. The CSP-facing dashboard is not accessible by customer operators. A tier-two dashboard service obtains the infrastructure security and compliance information from the tier-one dashboard service and filters the infrastructure security information to create a subset of information indicating the security and compliance of the services. The subset of infrastructure security and compliance information is presented to operators associated with a customer of the CSP on a customer-facing dashboard.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein are generally related to systems and methods for providing cloud environments, for use by tenants of a cloud infrastructure environment in accessing software products, services, or other offerings associated with the environment, including methods for defining and enforcing service control policies directed to services and service features. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a service control repository or service catalog that provides a definition of the services and service features, together with service control policies or rules that define availability or access to the service features. A service control policy framework, comprising a feature management service, determines, by reference to a hierarchy of entities defining the service control policies, which different entities can control the availability of particular services or service features to end users.

    摘要: Techniques for managing resource constraints of a cloud environment are disclosed. A system receives a request to initiate a provisioning process for provisioning a first service in the cloud environment. The system determines a resource constraint associated with a resource that the first service utilizes. Based on the resource constraint, the system determines a set of candidate services that also utilize the resource as candidates for deprovisioning from the cloud environment. The system identifies respective service features of the set of candidate services and generates a ranking of the set of candidate services based on weighting metrics associated with the respective service features. Based on the ranking, the system selects a second service of the set of candidate services for deprovisioning from the cloud environment. The system deprovisions the second service to alleviate the resource constraint and then provisions the first service by executing the provisioning process.

    摘要: Techniques for deploying artifacts to a computing environment are disclosed. A system includes a deployment service for routing requests to destination addresses in a target computing environment. The deployment service detects a request from an artifact deployment tool to deploy an artifact to the target computing environment. The deployment service obtains a deployment token representing verification that a set of one or more customer designated conditions are satisfied to deploy the artifact to the target computing environment. The deployment service obtains validation of the deployment token. Responsive to successfully obtaining validation of the deployment token, the deployment service directs the artifact to a destination address in the target computing environment. The artifact is received at the destination address and deployed in the target computing environment.

    摘要: Techniques for responding to a trigger event that threatens an operability of at least a portion of a cloud infrastructure of a cloud environment are disclosed. In response to detecting the occurrence of the trigger event, a system executes a mitigation process for mitigating an effect of the trigger event. The mitigation process includes determining a set of candidate services as candidates for stopping execution of operations in the cloud environment. In addition, the mitigation process generates a ranking of the set of candidate services based on weighting metrics associated with respective service features of the set of candidate services. Further, based on the ranking, the mitigation process selects a service of the set of candidate services and stops execution of operations of the service to at least partially mitigate the effect of the trigger event.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein are generally related to systems and methods for providing access to software products or services in a cloud computing or other computing environment. Dynamic rate card management allows organizations to optimize the number of rate cards to a manageable level wherein, for example, rate cards can be associated with the type of contract policy. In accordance with an embodiment, in order to accommodate the use of dynamic rate cards, a migration service or process can be used to convert/migrate subscriptions that were originally created under a first, legacy or former subscription pricing model, to conform instead with a subscription pricing service model, for use with the various systems, methods, and features described herein.

    摘要: Techniques for controlling resource deployments in a cloud partition of a cloud environment are disclosed. A cloud service provider (CSP) operates the cloud environment where its customers can specify constraints on deployments to their respective partitions (i.e., regions or realms). A partition-specific deployment constraint is a rule that constrains the changes/updates that can be made to one or more specific partitions. A partition-specific deployment constraint applies to at least one partition but may apply to multiple partitions. For example, a partition-specific deployment constraint may apply to one or more regions in a realm. A partition-specific deployment constraint is evaluated at deployment time using the most recent state, or a curated subset thereof, for at least one specific partition. A global deployment orchestrator conditions a deployment, at least in part, on if the deployment satisfies the partition-specific constraint(s) in the target partition.

    摘要: Operations of a search management system are disclosed. The operations may include: identifying a data corpus containing a plurality of documents, generating sets of feature vectors representing the plurality of documents, receiving a query to search the data corpus, generating a query vector for the query, identifying a target feature vector that meets a similarity threshold by comparing the query vector to the feature vectors, and presenting a query result that includes at least part of the document. The feature vectors may be generated by executing a multi-step partitioning process for partitioning a respective document into a plurality of document partitions, such that the sets of feature vectors that are generated correspond to the plurality of document partitions for the respective document. The query result may include a target partition from among the plurality of document partitions represented by the target feature vector.
