Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to cloud resources as a service in a multi-tenant data model. Specifically, a system (e.g., server) is configured to connect with any number of tenant devices in a multi-tenant environment. The system provides a set of cloud resources to each tenant including Software as a Service (SaaS) application development and customization.

Claims

1. A system for providing a set of cloud resources in a cloud computing environment, comprising:

a memory medium comprising instructions;

a bus coupled to the memory medium; and

a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to;

connect to a tenant device among multiple tenant devices via a communication link;

retrieve business data associated with a tenant from a storage area, wherein the tenant is associated with the tenant device;

define application data, wherein the application data is associated with the business data;

generate an interface template based on the application data;

render a graphical user interface on the tenant device based on the interface template;

edit the graphical user interface using the tenant device to create a desired graphical user interface; and

generate an application based on the desired graphical user interface.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the set of cloud resources comprises at least one of a Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PAAS), or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

3. The server of claim 1, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the server to provide the application to at least one other tenant device among the multiple tenant devices.

4. The server of claim 1, wherein the application data comprises application metadata.

5. The server of claim 1, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the server to store the application data and business metadata at different storage areas.

6. The server of claim 1, the memory medium further comprising instructions for causing the server to dynamically generate a query based on the graphical user interface.

7. A computer-implemented method for providing a set of cloud resources as a service in a cloud computing environment, comprising:

connecting a server to a tenant device among multiple tenant devices via a communication link;

retrieving business data associated with a tenant from a storage area, wherein the tenant is associated with the tenant device;

defining application data, wherein the application data is associated with the business data;

generating an interface template based on the application data;

rendering a graphical user interface on the tenant device based on the interface template;

editing the graphical user interface using the tenant device to create a desired graphical user interface; and

generating an application based on the desired graphical user interface.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein the set of cloud resources comprises at least one of a Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PAAS), or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising providing the application to at least one other tenant device among the multiple tenant devices.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein the application data comprises application metadata.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising storing the application data and business metadata at different storage locations.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising dynamically generating a query based on the graphical user interface.

13. A computer program product for managing Software as a Service (SaaS) resources in a networked computing environment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media, to:

connect to a tenant device among multiple tenant devices via a communication link;

retrieve business data associated with a tenant from a storage area, wherein the tenant is associated with the tenant device;

define application data, wherein the application data is associated with the business data;

generate an interface template based on the application data;

render a graphical user interface on the tenant device based on the interface template;

edit the graphical user interface using the tenant device to create a desired graphical user interface; and

generate an application based on the desired graphical user interface.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the set of cloud resources comprises at least one of a Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PAAS), or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

15. The computer program product of claim 13, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to provide the application to at least one other tenant device among the multiple tenant devices.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to store the application data and business metadata at different storage locations.

17. The computer program product of claim 13, the computer readable storage media further comprising instructions to dynamically generate a query based on the graphical user interface.
