Provisioning cloud resources in view of weighted importance indicators
First Claim

1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, cloud resource usage data by an application, the cloud resource usage data identifying a first cloud resource consumed by the application, a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource, a second cloud resource consumed by the application, and a second usage level associated with the second cloud resource;
assigning a first weighted importance indicator to the first cloud resource;
assigning a second weighted importance indicator to the second cloud resource, wherein the first and second weighted importance indicators indicate a preference for the first cloud resource over a second cloud resource; and
causing, by the processor, the first cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the first weighed important indicator, at least at the first usage level, and the second cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the second weighed important indicator, at a reduced usage level below the second usage level.

Abstract
Cloud resource provisioning is described. A cloud resource provisioning method may include obtaining cloud resource usage data by a process, wherein the cloud resource usage data identifies a cloud resource consumed by the process and a usage level associated with the cloud resource. The method may also include assigning an importance indicator to the cloud resource, and identifying a recommended cloud resource having available capacity with respect to the usage level in view of the importance indicator.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor operatively coupled to the memory, to; receive cloud resource usage data by an application, the cloud resource usage data identifying a first cloud resource consumed by the application, a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource, a second cloud resource consumed by the application, and a second usage level associated with the second cloud resource; assign a first weighted importance indicator to the first cloud resource; assign a second weighted importance indicator to the second cloud resource, wherein the first and second weighted importance indicators indicate a preference for the first cloud resource over a second cloud resource; and cause the first cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the first weighed important indicator, at least at the first usage level, and the second cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the second weighed important indicator, at a reduced usage level below the second usage level. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive, by the processor, cloud resource usage data by an application, the cloud resource usage data identifying a first cloud resource consumed by the application, a first usage level associated with the first cloud resource, a second cloud resource consumed by the application, and a second usage level associated with the second cloud resource; assign a first weighted importance indicator to the first cloud resource; assign a second weighted importance indicator to the second cloud resource, wherein the first and second weighted importance indicators indicate a preference for the first cloud resource over a second cloud resource; and cause, by the processor, the first cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the first weighed important indicator, at least at the first usage level, and the second cloud resource to be provisioned, in view of the second weighed important indicator, at a reduced usage level below the second usage level. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
