Abstract:
In some examples, a marketplace system receives information from multiple service providers as part of onboarding of the multiple service providers with the marketplace system. Responsive to the onboarding, a cloud service created by the respective service provider is synchronized with the marketplace system. A marketplace catalog is linked with catalogs of the service providers, the linking including aggregating content of the catalogs into the marketplace catalog. Responsive to a request from a requester received through a portal of the marketplace system, at least one cloud service is identified using the marketplace catalog based on at least one search criterion of the request.
Abstract:
Providing services can include receiving a request for a first service provided by a resource provider and provide a reference to an instantiated first resource that the resource provider instantiated. Providing services can include receiving a request for a second service provided by the resource provider. Providing services can include partitioning the instantiated first resource to create an instantiated second resource if the instantiated first resource is capable of providing the second service. Providing services can include registering an availability of the resource provider and the instantiated first resource for further partitioning in a chain of building blocks. Providing services can include updating one of the chain of building blocks and propagate the update to the chain of building blocks.
Abstract:
A method of managing a number of secondary clouds by a master cloud service manager includes coupling a first cloud including a master cloud service manager to a secondary cloud including a child cloud service manager, and controlling, by the master cloud service manager, the child cloud service manager of the secondary cloud and a number of instantiated services offered on the secondary cloud.

Abstract:
Managing the lifecycle of a cloud service modeled as a topology decorated by a number of policies includes with a processor, generating a topology or the realized topology, the topology or the realized topology representing a cloud service, associating a number of lifecycle management actions (LCMAs) with a number of nodes within the topology or the realized topology, and with a lifecycle management engine, updating the topology or the realized topology by associating a number of policies with the number of nodes within the topology or the realized topology.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a method, system, and medium to exchange service management contents with a cloud entity via a self-contained cloud content package. The device retrieves a plurality of service management contents for a first cloud controller that offers a cloud service. Also, the device generates a self-contained cloud content package including a plurality of service management contents and a plurality of associated dependencies and configurations. The self-contained cloud content package includes elements for provisioning and managing the cloud service offered by the first cloud controller. Moreover, the device exchanges the plurality of service management contents with a second cloud controller in a cloud entity to support the second cloud controller to deploy and manage the cloud service.
Abstract:
A method of executing a topology includes deriving executable logic from the topology. The method of executing the topology further includes, with an LCM engine, executing the topology based on the executable logic.
Abstract:
A method of facilitating autonomous computing within a cloud service includes generating a cloud service based on a lifecycle management topology, in which the cloud service is an autonomous management service, a self-management service, or combinations thereof. The method also includes establishing a number of management processes to be performed within the cloud service, in which the number of management processes comprise autonomous management processes, self-management processes, or combinations thereof. The cloud service includes an instantiation of the topology and a number of applications executable on the instantiation of the topology.
