Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a unique naming framework for a plurality of virtual machines attached to a network. The invention may include receiving a service request for a platform build from a requester and receiving a plurality of build parameters associated with the platform build from the requester. Then, the invention may apply a set of naming rules to one or more attributes (that may be based on the received build parameters) associated with one or more virtual machines, assign a unique name to each individual virtual machine based on the set of naming rules and publish at least one of the assigned unique names over the network, thereby providing access to the virtual machine associated with the unique assigned name in response to an internet protocol network request or request to resolve a host name.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing a unique naming framework for a plurality of virtual machines attached to a network, the system comprising:
a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device;
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
apply a set of naming rules to one or more attrib…
