Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for resolving and/or implementing policies based on layers of a network stack (e.g., cloud computing stack). Specifically, for a given policy that is being resolved, the system first evaluates the applicability of the policy to each layer in the network stack. For a given policy, the system then evaluates the relative effectiveness of applying the policy to achieve the overall goal of the policy. Based on the best fit evaluation of the relative comparison, the system then decides how and where the policy is enacted (e.g., determines a protocol for implementing the policy).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for implementing policies in a networked cloud computing environment, comprising: providing a set of layers of a cloud computing network stack in the networked computing environment, the set of cloud layers comprising: a business processes as a service cloud layer providing business application services and industry solutions, a platform as a service cloud layer comprising: an applications services sub-layer providing colla…
