IMPLEMENTING COMPARISON OF CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER PACKAGE OFFERINGS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of implementing comparison of cloud service provider package offerings, comprising:
- creating a cloud services architecture specification defining a cloud infrastructure that supports deployment of an application thereto; and
determining a cloud services offering price for each one of the plurality of cloud service offerings to characterize implementation of the cloud infrastructure using cloud services thereof on a basis of pricing of such cloud services, wherein determining the cloud services offering price for a particular one of the cloud service offerings includes mapping the cloud services architecture specification to cloud service pricing information for the particular one of the cloud service offerings.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of implementing comparison of cloud service provider package offerings comprises a plurality of operations. An operation of creating a cloud services architecture specification defining a cloud infrastructure that supports deployment of an application thereto is performed. An operation of determining a cloud services offering price for each one of the plurality of cloud service offerings to characterize implementation of the cloud infrastructure using cloud services thereof on a basis of pricing of such cloud services is performed. Determining the cloud services offering price for a particular one of the cloud service offerings includes mapping the cloud services architecture specification to cloud service pricing information for the particular one of the cloud service offerings.

14. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
determining, for each one of a plurality of cloud service offerings, implementation characterizing information of a cloud infrastructure using cloud services thereof, wherein the cloud infrastructure supports deployment of a designated application thereby and wherein the implementation characterizing information is determined using a first cloud services architecture specification; displaying, for each one of a plurality of cloud service offerings, a comparison of the implementation characterizing information thereof; and in response to receiving a request for determining implementation characterizing information using cloud services of each one of the cloud service offerings with respect to a second cloud services architecture specification, displaying a plurality of infrastructure characterizing parameters for each one of the cloud service offerings, wherein each one of the infrastructure characterizing parameters provides a respective assessment of a respective one of the cloud service offerings. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
