Abstract

In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a broker interfacing a system, a request to identify whether an executable component is available at one or more cloud service providers; querying a repository at the broker to determine whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers, the querying of the repository performed based on a hash code identifying the executable component; obtaining, based on a result of the querying, the executable component to the system, when the repository querying indicates that the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers; and providing to the system at least one of the obtained executable component or an indication that the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a broker interfacing a system, a request to identify whether an executable component is available at one or more cloud service providers;

querying a repository at the broker to determine whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers, the querying of the repository performed based on a hash code identifying the executable component;

obtaining, based on a result of the querying, the executable component to the system, when the repository querying indicates that the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers; and

providing to the system at least one of the obtained executable component or an indication that the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers, wherein the receiving, the querying, the obtaining, and the providing are implemented by at least one processor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the executable component represents one of a plurality of executable components forming the system.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the repository stores the plurality of components and a plurality of hash codes identifying each of the plurality of executable components and at least one location for the plurality of executable components.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the querying further comprises:

determining whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers based on a match between the hash code identifying the executable component and at least one of the plurality of hash codes.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

executing, when the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers, a component; and

providing, when executed, the component, to the broker including another hash code uniquely identifying the component to allow access to the component by the querying.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including code, which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:

receiving, at a broker interfacing a system, a request to identify whether an executable component is available at one or more cloud service providers;

querying a repository at the broker to determine whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers, the querying of the repository performed based on a hash code identifying the executable component;

obtaining, based on a result of the querying, the executable component to the system, when the repository querying indicates that the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers; and

providing to the system at least one of the obtained executable component or an indication that the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6, wherein the executable component represents one of a plurality of executable components forming the system.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6, wherein the repository stores the plurality of executable components and a plurality of hash codes identifying each of the plurality of executable components.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the querying further comprises:

determining whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers based on a match between the hash code identifying the executable component and at least one of the plurality of hash codes.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 further comprising:

executing, when the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers, a component; and

providing, when executed, the component, to the broker including another hash code uniquely identifying the component to allow access to the component by the querying.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code, which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising;

receiving, at a broker interfacing a system, a request to identify whether an executable component is available at one or more cloud service providers;

querying a repository at the broker to determine whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers, the querying of the repository performed based on a hash code identifying the executable component;

obtaining, based on a result of the querying, the executable component to the system, when the repository querying indicates that the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers; and

providing to the system at least one of the obtained executable component or an indication that the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the executable component represents one of a plurality of executable components forming the system.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the repository stores the plurality of executable components and a plurality of hash codes identifying each of the plurality of executable components.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the querying further comprises:

determining whether the executable component is available at the one or more cloud service providers based on a match between the hash code identifying the executable component and at least one of the plurality of hash codes.

15. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

executing, when the executable component is not available at the one or more cloud service providers, a component; and

providing, when executed, the component, to the broker including another hash code uniquely identifying the component to allow access to the component by the querying.
