摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for mapping requirements (e.g., functional and/or non-functional requirements) to components and/or policies of a system topology in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, a set of functional requirements is mapped to a set of components. A set of dependencies between the set of functional requirements is then indentified so that a set of interrelationships between the set of components may be identified. A set of non-functional requirements is then mapped to a set of policies that are then applied to the set of components. Based on the set of components, the set of interrelationships, and the set of policies, a system topology is generated. Upon implementation of the system topology, runtime metrics may be collected as feedback that is utilized for refinement of the system topology, as well as a system topology deployed in the future.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for validating deployment patterns/topologies (e.g., prior to being deployed) against existing patterns that have already been determined to be compliant (e.g., against a set of policies/standards). In a typical embodiment, individual components of a proposed deployment pattern are identified and then evaluated against previously approved deployment patterns (e.g., based on standards and/or policies). Components of the proposed deployment patterns that are deemed non-compliant are identified, and corrective action(s) may be determined to address any non-compliance (e.g., to put the non-compliant components into compliance, to remove the non-compliant components, etc.).

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for analyzing operating costs (e.g., metered cost effects) for deployment patterns (and changes thereto) in a networked computing environment. In a typical embodiment, a deployment pattern for the networked computing environment is identified. The deployment pattern may comprise a set of components arranged in a network topology. Moreover, the set of components may be associated with a set of policies (e.g., stored in a computer memory medium and/or computer storage device). A cost analysis algorithm(s) may then be selected for the deployment pattern. The selected algorithm(s) may then be applied (e.g., to the deployment pattern and/or network computing environment) to analyze the operating costs of the deployment pattern.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a set of algorithmic methods that can be used to generate a pre-provisioned pool of virtual machines (VMs) in a networked computing environment. Specifically, an install time for possible combinations of software components of a VM in a plurality of software component combinations is calculated. Each respective install time is weighted by a value associated with a provisioning history of software components. At least part of the software component combinations is allocated to the pre-provisioned pool of virtual machines (VMs).

Intelligent lighting is provided to motorists traveling down a stretch of road by sequentially turning on adjacent lighting devices in a lighting segment only when required, such as when vehicles are approaching the lighting devices, and turning off the lighting devices or decreasing a light intensity output of the lighting devices to a predefined minimum lighting intensity output level when no vehicles are present. In addition, which bulb to use in a multi-bulb lighting device is determined, as well as the optimal lighting intensity level of the selected bulb. Further, it is determined which lighting devices in a lighting segment may be turned off or dimmed while maintaining a predefined minimum safe light/brightness level along a pathway associated with the lighting segment.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for managing application template artifacts throughout an application's lifecycle in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, a workload template is assigned to each phase of a set of successive phases of the application's lifecycle. Each template typically refers to a template in a preceding phase of the lifecycle. Moreover, the templates may contain pointers to artifacts used in the phases assigned thereto. Any changes occurring in the artifacts/phases are propagated to the corresponding templates so as to automatically manage application lifecycle operations.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for determining distributions of virtual machine (VM) patterns across pools of VM instances based upon historical data (e.g., to achieve faster provisioning times). In a typical embodiment, a total pool size for a pool of VM instances is determined (e.g., based on historical data). Then, a distribution of a set of VM instance patterns across the pool is determined (e.g., also based upon historical data). Once the distribution has been determined, the pool of VM instances may be provisioned according to the distribution.

Disclosed are approaches for pre-provisioning cloud computing resources such as virtual machines (VMs) in order to achieve faster and more consistent provisioning times. Embodiments describe approaches to generate a pre-provisioned pool of virtual machines that are utilized when one or more consumers start to initiate a large volume of requests. In typical embodiments, a selection of an operating system to be associated with a VM is received in a computer data structure. A provisioning of the VM will then be initiated based on the selection of the operating system. Thereafter, at least one selection of at least one software program to be associated with the VM will be received in the computer data structure. The provisioning of the VM can then be completed based on the at least one selection of the at least one software program in response to a provisioning request received in the computer data structure.
