Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that facilitate orchestration engine components for a cloud computing environment are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a blueprint component that can, based on one or more dependencies between respective resource components of a cloud-based computing platform, declare a steady state action to be executed in response to a steady state event indicative of an event associated with steady state operation of a resource component of the cloud-based computing platform. The computer executable components can further comprise an orchestration engine component that can, based on the blueprint component, execute the steady state action in response to the steady state event.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and
a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:
a blueprint component that, based on one or more dependencies between respective resource components of a cloud-based computing platform and one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies, declares a steady state action to be executed in response to a steady state event indicative of an event associated with steady state operation of a resource component of the cloud-based computing platform, wherein the one or more risks are selected from a group consisting of single dependency risk, multiple dependencies risk, single dimension dependency risk, multiple dimension dependency risk, workload performance risk, failure risk, security risk, and financial risk; and
an orchestration engine component that, based on the blueprint component, executes the steady state action in response to the steady state event.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blueprint component declares at least one of the steady state event or the steady state action based on the one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the blueprint component, the one or more dependencies, the respective resource components, the steady state action, the steady state event, or the resource component are indicative of a declarative-based machine-readable component.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blueprint component, based on one or more second dependencies, declares a second steady state action to be executed in response to a second steady state event indicative of a second event associated with steady state operation of the resource component of the cloud-based computing platform, and wherein the orchestration engine component executes the second steady state action in response to the second steady state event.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more dependencies define one or more aspects of one or more operations associated with at least one of the resource component or the respective resource components.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more aspects are selected from a group consisting of timing, schedule, and sequence, and the one or more operations are selected from a second group consisting of shutdown operation, pause operation, alert operation, and provisioning operation.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a notification component that generates information indicative of at least one of an occurrence of the steady state event or an execution of the steady state action.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blueprint component declares one or more resource properties of the resource component based on at least one of the one or more dependencies, the steady state event, or the steady state action.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more dependencies, the steady state event, or the steady state action are defined by an entity.

10. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
based on one or more dependencies between respective resource components of a cloud-based computing platform and one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies, declaring, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a steady state action to be executed in response to a steady state event indicative of an event associated with steady state operation of a resource component of the cloud-based computing platform, wherein the one or more risks are selected from a group consisting of single dependency risk, multiple dependencies risk, single dimension dependency risk, multiple dimension dependency risk, workload performance risk, failure risk, security risk, and financial risk; and
in response to the steady state event, executing, by the system, the steady state action.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
generating, by the system, information indicative of at least one of an occurrence of the steady state event or an execution of the steady state action.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the declaring comprises, declaring, by the system, at least one of the steady state event or the steady state action based on the one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
declaring, by the system, one or more resource properties of the resource component based on at least one of the one or more dependencies, the steady state event, or the steady state action.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
based on one or more second dependencies, declaring, by the system, a second steady state action to be executed in response to a second steady state event indicative of a second event associated with steady state operation of the resource component of the cloud-based computing platform; and
in response to the second steady state event, executing, by the system, the second steady state action.

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
monitoring, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a cloud-based computing platform to learn one or more dependency characteristics of one or more dependencies between respective resource components of the cloud-based computing platform;
declaring, by the system, a steady state action to be executed in response to a steady state event indicative of an event associated with steady state operation of a resource component of the cloud-based computing platform and based on one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies, wherein the one or more risks are selected from a group consisting of single dependency risk, multiple dependencies risk, single dimension dependency risk, multiple dimension dependency risk, workload performance risk, failure risk, security risk, and financial risk; and
in response to the steady state event, executing, by the system, the steady state action.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the monitoring comprises monitoring, by the system, the cloud-based computing platform to analyze performance of the steady state action executed in response to the steady state event.

17. A computer program product facilitating an orchestration engine process associated with steady state operation of a resource component, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
based on one or more dependencies between respective resource components of a cloud-based computing platform and based on one or more risks associated with the one or more dependencies, declare, by the processor, a steady state action to be executed in response to a steady state event indicative of an event associated with steady state operation of a resource component of the cloud-based computing platform, wherein the one or more risks are selected from a group consisting of single dependency risk, multiple dependencies risk, single dimension dependency risk, multiple dimension dependency risk, workload performance risk, failure risk, security risk, and financial risk; and
in response to the steady state event, execute, by the processor, the steady state action.
