Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cloud management system can insert a self-management module in virtual machines. The self-management module can be configured to automatically perform management functions on the virtual machine in which it is inserted. The management functions can include activation, suspension, or termination of the virtual machine. The management functions can also include tracking and monitoring the virtual machine. The management functions can also include providing messages to the cloud management system regarding the status and usage of the virtual machine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: instantiating, by a processor of a cloud management server computing device, a plurality of virtual machines in a cloud computing environment comprising a set of hosted resource server devices, the plurality of virtual machines instantiated on the set of hosted resource server devices in response to an instantiation request from an end user of the cloud computing environment, wherein the plurality of virtual machines operate together to…
