1. A method to identify a virtualized computer instance, comprising:
- under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions;
receiving a free-form description of computer hardware, wherein a portion of the free-form description is related to a make or model of physical computer hardware;
transforming the free-form description into computing specifications via applying expression matching to portions of the free-form description to identify components of the computer hardware;
mapping the computing specifications to specifications of a virtualized computer instance by matching the components of the computer hardware to components of the virtualized computer instance; and
providing a description of the virtualized computer instance as a result.

19. A system to select a virtualized instance, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory device having instructions stored in the memory device, the instructions being executable by the processor, the instructions comprising; an interface to input a computing specification, wherein a portion of the computing specification is a description related to a make or model of physical computer hardware; a parser to apply expression matching to portions of the computing specification to identify components of the computing specification; a table lookup to map the computing specification to a virtualized instance by looking up the virtualized instance using the computing specification and by matching the components of the computing specification to components of the virtualized instance; and a content generator to provide a description of the virtualized instance as a result of the computing specification received. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
