Method and system for autonomic self-learning in selecting resources for dynamic provisioning
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for automatically selecting resource combinations in an infrastructure comprising an application environment comprising a given resource combination and a resource managing component having access to a list of tested resource combinations, the method comprising:
- executing on at least one processor residing on at least one information system the following;
automatically generating a set of new resource combinations independently of user input from a pool of available resources, wherein the set of new resource combinations is generated from at least one previously tested resource combination;
automatically testing each of the new resource combinations independently of user input to determine an ability of resources in the set of new resource combinations to work together; and
responsive to a determination that resources in the set of new resource combinations work together, automatically adding the new resource combinations to the list.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of provisioning of electronic computing resources via a network to a client, and in particular to a method for automatically selecting resources in for application environments consisting of a multitude of resources, wherein a resource managing component is provided for associating specific, selected resource combinations to the application environment, wherein a list of qualifying working combinations of the resource combinations is maintained. In order to improve provisioning, it is proposed to automatically generate combinations of resources, wherein respective search algorithms look for new resources within a pool of free resources, assemble a combination of resources which fulfil a set of predetermined rules, test such given new combination in multiple level preciseness, and define a fail over situation differently to prior art, namely by providing a new resource combination which was already tested for the exact business application and the exact business process for which it was designed.

20. A system for automatically selecting resource combinations in an infrastructure comprising an application environment consisting of a given resource combination and a resource managing component having access to a list of tested resource combinations, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor communicatively coupled to the memory; a distributed resource manager for automatically generating a set of new resource combinations independently of user input from a pool of available resources, wherein the set of new resource combinations is generated from at least one previously tested resource combination; and a testing program for automatically testing each of the new resource combinations independently of user input to determine an ability of resources in the set new resource combinations to work together and responsive to a determination that resources in the set of new resource combinations work together, automatically adding the new resource combinations to the list.
