Abstract

Implementations for generating scenarios for automated execution of resources in a cloud computing environment are described. An example method may include receiving, by a processing device, identification of a plurality of resources for inclusion in a scenario, the scenario to cause the plurality of resources to be deployed in a cloud computing system, generating, by the processing device, the scenario specifying the plurality of resources and defining relationships between the plurality of resources, receiving a command to invocate the scenario, and in response to receiving the command, causing the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing system in view of the scenario, the plurality of deployed resources to have the defined relationships.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a processing device, usage of multiple resources deployed in a cloud computing system;
identifying, in view of the usage during a determined time interval, a plurality of resources from the multiple resources as candidates for a scenario of deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system, wherein each resource of the plurality of resources was created a determined minimum amount of number of times during the determined time interval;
receiving, by the processing device, identification of the plurality of resources for inclusion in the scenario;
generating, by the processing device, the scenario specifying the plurality of resources and defining relationships between the plurality of resources, wherein the relationships indicate an order for deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system;
receiving a command to invocate the scenario; and
in response to receiving the command, causing the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing system in view of the scenario, the plurality of deployed resources to have the defined relationships.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of resources comprise one or more computing resources and one or more configuration resources, wherein the one or more computing resources comprise at least one of an application, a web server, a database server, a router, or a load balancer, wherein the one or more configuration resources comprise at least one of a network definition, a subnet definition, a port identifier, a floating Internet Protocol (IP) address, a volume identifier, or a security group definition, and wherein each of the plurality of resources corresponds to a template of a management server for the cloud computing system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving identification of the plurality of resources comprises receiving user input to identify the plurality of resources from a user device of a user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing environment comprises obtaining values of one or more variables corresponding to the plurality of resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the scenario is performed without user intervention.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the scenario comprising combining the plurality of resources and the defined relationships between the plurality of resources into a scenario template that enables deployment of the plurality of resources on the cloud computing system.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring usage of the resource; and
removing the resource in response to the usage of the resource satisfying one or more removal parameters.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more removal parameters comprises at least one of a time interval of the usage or a number of times of deployment of the resource.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring the usage of the multiple resources is performed during a predetermined time interval.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the usage comprises at least one of initialization of a resource in the cloud computing system or deployment of the resource in the cloud computing system.

11. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device communicably coupled to the memory to:
monitor usage of multiple resources deployed in a cloud computing system;
identify, in view of the usage during a determined time interval, a plurality of resources from the multiple resources as candidates for a scenario of deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system, wherein each resource of the plurality of resources was created a determined minimum amount of number of times during the determined time interval;
receive identification of the plurality of resources for inclusion in the scenario;
generate the scenario specifying the plurality of resources and defining relationships between the plurality of resources, wherein the relationships indicate an order for deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system;
receive a command to invocate the scenario; and
in response to receiving the command, cause the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing system in view of the scenario, the plurality of deployed resources to have the defined relationships.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of resources comprise one or more computing resources and one or more configuration resources, wherein the one or more computing resources comprise at least one of an application, a web server, a database server, a router, or a load balancer, wherein the one or more configuration resources comprise at least one of a network definition, a subnet definition, a port identifier, a floating Internet Protocol (IP) address, a volume identifier, or a security group definition, and wherein each of the plurality of resources corresponds to a template of a management server for the cloud computing system.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing device to receive identification of the plurality of resources further comprises the processing device to receive user input to identify the plurality of resources from a user device of a user.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing device to cause the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing environment further comprises the processing device to obtain values of one or more variables corresponding to the plurality of resources.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing device is further to:
monitor usage of the resource; and
remove the resource in response to the usage of the resource satisfying one or more removal parameters;
wherein the one or more removal parameters comprise at least one of a time interval of the usage or a number of times of deployment of the resource.

16. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processing device to:
monitor, by a processor, usage of multiple resources deployed in a cloud computing system;
identify, in view of the usage during a determined time interval, a plurality of resources from the multiple resources as candidates for a scenario of deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system, wherein each resource of the plurality of resources was created a determined minimum amount of number of times during the determined time interval;
receive, by the processing device, identification of the plurality of resources for inclusion in the scenario, the scenario to cause the plurality of resources to be deployed in a cloud computing system;
generate, by the processing device, the scenario specifying the plurality of resources and defining relationships between the plurality of resources, wherein the relationships indicate an order for deploying the plurality of resources in the cloud computing system;
receive a command to invocate the scenario; and
in response to receiving the command, cause the plurality of resources to be deployed in the cloud computing system in view of the scenario, the plurality of deployed resources to have the defined relationships.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of resources comprise one or more computing resources and one or more configuration resources, wherein the one or more computing resources comprise at least one of an application, a web server, a database server, a router, or a load balancer, wherein the one o
