Abstract:
A method and associated systems for capturing configuration items from hybrid-cloud provisioning data. A processor of a service-management system intercepts a service request requesting that the hybrid cloud's orchestration mechanism provision or deprovision a configuration item of the hybrid cloud. The service-management system identifies the configuration item by examining the service request and then forwards the request to the cloud-orchestration mechanism. After confirming that the request has been satisfied, the service-management system retrieves from the orchestration mechanism provisioning information that describes attributes of the newly provisioned or deprovisioned configuration item and uses this information to update a configuration-management database, marking any provisioning information newly stored in the database as being authorized for use by other management systems of the hybrid cloud. The service-management system then enhances the stored data by means of an artificially intelligent analytics module and additional configuration-item data collected by a discovery agent.
