Provisioning Cloud Resources
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a cloud resource usage data identifying;
a first cloud resource consumed,a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource,a second cloud resource consumed, anda second usage level associated with the second cloud resource,wherein the first and second cloud resources are in respective first and second clouds;
assigning, by the processor, a first importance indicator to the first cloud resource;
assigning, by the processor, a second importance indicator to the second cloud resource;
analyzing, by the processor, the first and second importance indicators to identify a preference for the first cloud resource over the second cloud resource; and
causing, by the processor, in view of the analyzing, the first cloud resource to be provisioned at least at the first usage level and the second cloud resource to be provisioned at a reduced usage level below the second usage level.

Abstract
Cloud resource provisioning is described. A cloud resource provisioning method may include receiving, by a processor, a cloud resource usage data identifying a first cloud resource consumed, a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource, a second cloud resource consumed, and a second usage level associated with the second cloud resource, wherein the first and second cloud resources are in respective first and second clouds. The method may further include assigning a first importance indicator to the first cloud resource. The method may further include assigning a second importance indicator to the second cloud resource. The method may further include analyzing the first and second importance indicators to identify a preference for the first cloud resource over the second cloud resource. The method may further include causing, in view of the analyzing, the first cloud resource to be provisioned at least at the first usage level and the second cloud resource to be provisioned at a reduced usage level below the second usage level.

12. A system, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, to; receive cloud resource usage data identifying a first usage level associated with a first cloud resource of a first cloud and a second cloud and a second usage level associated with a second cloud resource of a second cloud; associate a first importance indicator with the first cloud resource; associate a second importance indicator with the second cloud resource; and cause, in view of the first and second importance indicators, the second cloud resource to be provisioned at a reduced usage level below the second usage level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive, by the processor, a cloud resource usage data identifying a first cloud resource consumed, a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource, a second cloud resource consumed, and a second usage level associated with the second cloud resource, wherein the first and second cloud resources are in respective first and second clouds; assign a first importance indicator to the first cloud resource; assign a second importance indicator to the second cloud resource; analyze the first and second importance indicators to identify a preference for the first cloud resource over the second cloud resource; and cause, by the processor, the first cloud resource to be provisioned at least at the first usage level and the second cloud resource to be provisioned at a reduced usage level below the second usage level. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
