First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling cloud and virtualized data centers in an intelligent workload management system, comprising:
- at least one software installation having an embedded management agent;
an authentication server that embeds an identity service in the at least one software installation, wherein the embedded identity service includes an authentication token defining authorizations or permissions for a unique identity assigned to the software installation;
an image management system that stores a virtual machine image created from the software installation in a shared repository;
a cloud image repository that stores a cloud image created from the virtual machine image in the shared repository, wherein the cloud image created from the virtual machine image includes the embedded management agent and the embedded identity service; and
an image deployment system that deploys the cloud image with the embedded management agent and the embedded identity service into a cloud computing environment.

11. A method for controlling cloud and virtualized data centers in an intelligent workload management system, comprising:
-
creating at least one software installation having an embedded management agent; embedding, by an authentication server, an identity service in the at least one software installation, wherein the embedded identity service includes an authentication token defining authorizations or permissions for a unique identity assigned to the software installation; storing, by an image management system, a virtual machine image created from the software installation, wherein the image management system stores the virtual machine image created from the software installation in a shared repository; storing, in a cloud image repository, a cloud image created from the virtual machine image, wherein the cloud image created from the virtual machine image includes the embedded management agent and the embedded identity service; and deploying, by an image deployment system, the cloud image with the embedded management agent and the embedded identity service into a cloud computing environment. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
