TECHNIQUES FOR ADDRESSING GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION ISSUES IN COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS
First Claim
1. A method for addressing geographical location issues in a computing environment, comprising:
- receiving, at a data processing system, location information indicating a permissible geographical location in which a virtual machine image for a consumer may be deployed;
issuing, from the data processing system, a request for an exception to deploy the virtual machine image outside of the permissible geographical location;
receiving, at the data processing system, an exception grant or an exception denial from the consumer in response to the request;
deploying, using the data processing system, the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are outside of the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception grant; and
deploying, using the data processing system, the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are within the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception denial.

Abstract
A technique for addressing geographical location issues in a computing environment includes receiving, at a data processing system, location information indicating a permissible geographical location in which a virtual machine image for a consumer may be deployed. A request for an exception to deploy the virtual machine image outside of the permissible geographical location is issued, from the data processing system. An exception grant or an exception denial is received, at the data processing system, from the consumer in response to the request. The virtual machine image is deployed, using the data processing system, to one or more servers in the computing environment that are outside of the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception grant. The virtual machine image is deployed, using the data processing system, to one or more servers in the computing environment that are within the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception denial.

8. A computer program product for addressing geographical location issues in a computing environment, the computer program product comprising:
a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied thereon, wherein the computer-readable program code, when executed by a data processing system, causes the data processing system to; receive location information indicating a permissible geographical location in which a virtual machine image for a consumer may be deployed; issue a request for an exception to deploy the virtual machine image outside of the permissible geographical location; receive an exception grant or an exception denial from the consumer in response to the request; deploy the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are outside of the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception grant; and deploy the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are within the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception denial. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A data processing system, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor core coupled to the memory, wherein the processor core is configured to; receive location information indicating a permissible geographical location in which a virtual machine image for a consumer may be deployed; issue a request for an exception to deploy the virtual machine image outside of the permissible geographical location; receive an exception grant or an exception denial from the consumer in response to the request; deploy the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are outside of the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception grant; and deploy the virtual machine image to one or more servers in the computing environment that are within the permissible geographical location in response to receipt of the exception denial. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
