Systems and methods for exporting usage history data as input to a management platform of a target cloud-based network
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, a usage history representing at least one of consumption of resources or usage of software in a host cloud-based network from a management platform of the host cloud-based network;
receiving, by the processor, a set of export filter criteria;
applying, by the processor, the set of export filter criteria to the usage history to generate at least a selective subset of the usage history; and
exporting, by the processor, the selective subset of the usage history to a management platform of a target cloud-based network, wherein the export filter criteria is received from a service operating in the target cloud-based network, and wherein the management platform of the host cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network interface to operate the host cloud-based network and the target cloud-based network on a combined basis to enable the management platform of the host cloud-based network to manage resources on the target cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network to manage resources on the host cloud-based network.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for exporting usage history data as input to a management platform of a target cloud-based network. A usage export service can be abstracted and provided external to a host cloud-based network, which can capture the usage history of software or resources by one or more users in the host cloud-based network. Those user(s) or others may wish to export some or all of the usage history to a target cloud or clouds, to perform management or configuration actions in the target cloud(s). The selective subset of the usage history can be transmitted to the cloud management system of the target cloud-based network. The selective subset can be used for management actions in the target cloud(s), such as for instance, to instantiate or configure a set of virtual machines for failover or re-clouding purposes, or to aggregate usage history from the host and target cloud(s).

8. A system comprising:
-
a network interface to a host cloud-based network; and a processor, to communicate with the host cloud-based network via the network interface, the processor to; access a usage history representing at least one of consumption of resources or usage of software in the host cloud-based network from a management platform of the host cloud-based network, receive a set of export filter criteria, apply the set of export filter criteria to the usage history to generate at least a selective subset of the usage history, and export the selective subset of the usage history to a management platform of a target cloud-based network, wherein the export filter criteria is received from a service operating in the target cloud-based network, and wherein the management platform of the host cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network interface to operate the host cloud-based network and the target cloud-based network on a combined basis to enable the management platform of the host cloud-based network to manage resources on the target cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network to manage resources on the host cloud-based network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
transmitting, by a processor, from a target cloud-based network, a set of export filter criteria to a host cloud-based network; receiving, by the processor, from a management platform of the host cloud-based network, a selective subset of a usage history representing at least one of consumption of resources or usage of software in the host cloud-based network in a management platform of the target cloud-based network; and generating, by the processor, a management action in a set of virtual machines in the target cloud-based network, wherein the export filter criteria is transmitted by a service operating in the target cloud-based network, and wherein the management platform of the host cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network interface to operate the host cloud-based network and the target cloud-based network on a combined basis to enable the management platform of the host cloud-based network to manage resources on the target cloud-based network and the management platform of the target cloud-based network to manage resources on the host cloud-based network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
