[001] The present invention is generally related to computer and computer software. More particularly, the present invention relates to virtualized computing environment.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[002] In today’s world Cloud architects is a niche skill that comes with high premium. Many of these architects are adept and focused on the technologies that are native to a single cloud service provider. Most of the enterprises seek to adopt multiple clouds strategy to avoid vendor locking and take benefits of cost difference between each cloud provider. To achieve these strategic goals they prefer to create Architectures that are Cloud Agnostic, i.e. a same architecture that can be deployed across multiple cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, Google etc.

[003] These architects generally make use of scripting technologies that brings various challenges like (learning curve, error prone, not up to date as per latest cloud changes etc.) coding using these technologies is hard and usually take enormous effort and time resulting in cost overruns and increase in Total Cost of Migration/Ownership.

[004] Prior art references such as a patent document numbered US10162670B2 discloses composite virtual machine templates may be used in the deployment of virtual machines into virtualized computing environments. A composite virtual machine template may define a plurality of deployment attributes for use in a virtual machine deployment, and at least some of these deployment attributes may be determined through references to other virtual machine templates and included in the composite virtual machine template. [005] Another prior art reference numbered US9971583B2 discloses in one implementation, a system for a common deployment model includes a content engine to embrace content from a number of deployment tools, a properties engine to associate a number of properties from the content to generate a component model for the number of deployment tools, a cost engine to associate the component model with a cost model, and a fulfillment engine to instantiate the component model with the associated cost model.

[006] Other prior art references or conventional technologies fail to visualize an architecture or an infrastructure which can irrespective the underlying cloud service provider. Hence, different architectures or more skills are required for deploying same architectures at different cloud services.

[007] Therefore, there is a need of an application tool to visualize a cloud infrastructure irrespective of the underlying cloud service provider.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION [008] It is an objective of the present invention to provide a computer application system/tool which can visualize a cloud infrastructure irrespective of the underlying cloud service provider. [009] It is an objective of the present invention to provide a user, of the computer application system/ tool, an abstracted and unified way of visualizing the Cloud infrastructure.

[0010] It is an objective of the present invention to provide a mechanism to visualize the user’s end state architectures as a Cloud agnostic architecture.

[0011] It is an objective of the present invention for enabling enterprises to adopt multi-cloud strategy in a cost effective manner as they save on the learning cost for their architects/engineers also on acquiring cloud skills from markets. [0012] It is further an objective of the present invention to monitor the performance, cost usage for the architectures deployed through the computer application system/tool.

[0013] Another objective of the present invention is to enable various teams to collaborate using the computer application system/tool. [0014] Another object is to provide users with the estimated /approx cost of provisioning

Infrastructure across all clouds for comparison and decision making

Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0033] The present invention provides a computer based application system/tool for visualizing architecture irrespective of an underlying cloud service provider. The computer based application system/tool provides a user of the tool with a unified mechanism of visualizing a cloud infrastructure. The unified mechanism allows the user to visualize his end state architectures as a Cloud agnostic architecture, and hence, the user does not need to learn the technologies specific to a particular cloud service provider. When deploying or creating this architecture, computer based application system/tool translates this architecture in the technology that is native to the target Cloud service provider, such as for e.g. AWS, Google, AWS and the like conventionally present these days.

[0034] As used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the term "cloud service" is meant to be understood broadly as any number of services provided over a number of computing devices that are connected through a real-time communication network. Cloud services may include services provided on a distributed system implementing distributed hardware and software resources. In one example, a cloud service may be any service offered on a private cloud, public cloud, managed cloud, hybrid cloud, or combinations thereof. In another example, a cloud service may be services provided on physically independent machines such as, for example, a data center. [0035] Further, as used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the terms "node" or "computing device" are meant to be understood broadly as any hardware device, virtual device, group of hardware devices, group of virtual devices, or combination thereof within a network. Nodes may include, for example, servers, switches, data processing devices, data storage devices, load balancers, routers, and virtual versions thereof, among many other types of hardware and virtual devices. Further, nodes may be representations of the above hardware and virtual devices before execution and instantiation of a topology of which the node is a part.

[0036] Still further, as used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the term "topology" is meant to be understood broadly as data representing a graph of nodes where branches between the nodes represent relationships between the nodes. The nodes may comprise any number of computing devices located within a network. Thus, the topology of the network may comprise the physical and logical layout of networked computing devices, and definitions of the relationships between the computing devices.

[0037] Still further, as used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the term "template" is meant to be understood broadly as an execution flow for allowing automation of cloud service. A template may include a functional description of a number of hardware and/or virtualized components included within a service such as, for example, operating systems, application stacks, databases. A template may further include a functional description of the configuration and connectivity between the hardware and virtualized components. The template may also include a number of deployment models to enable the functional description to be deployed. The template may further include a set of user-configurable options to allow a user to establish a number of aspects of the deployed service. [0038] Still further as used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the term "template" is meant to be understood broadly as any set of executable logic or interpretable logic that may be expressed as executable logic that may be instantiated.

[0039] FIG. 1 illustrates an architecture defined topology 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The architecture defined topology 100 may comprise a number of nodes (102, 104, 106, 108, 110) associated with one another. Associations between nodes within the topology (100) are indicated by the open arrows. A number of nodes 102, 104, 106, 108 and 110 within the topology (100) may also be aggregated with one another as designated by the filled arrows. It may be understood by a person skilled in the art that aggregation is a computing term which is used to describe combining (aggregating) multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and to provide redundancy in case one of the links fails. For example, a load balancer (102), web server services aggregated with web virtual machines (104, 106, 108 and 110) within the subnets are associated with one another. [0040] As shown in Fig. 2, the block diagram 200 illustrates a computer based application system/tool 202 provided by the present invention, in accordance with an embodiment. The system/tool 202 that comprises a Drawing Tool Component 204, a Cloud Object Property Mapper 206 and a Cloud Object Translator 208. The computer based application system/tool 202 applies one or more application algorithms proprietary to the system/tool 202 that provides one or more functionalities to the components, which are, the Drawing Tool Component 204, the Cloud Object Property Mapper 206 and the Cloud Object Translator 208, and provides for one or more relationships between the Drawing Tool Component 204, the Cloud Object Property Mapper 206 and the Cloud Object Translator 208. [0041] The computer based application system/tool 202, according to the present invention, reads these relationship, as shown in the Fig. 2, and translates these into the native language of any cloud solution provider so that the desired architecture could be created on the target Cloud platform(s). The application system/tool 202 uses a proprietary mechanism/algorithm that enables any user with little or no knowledge to create these cloud agnostic architectures in a matter of minutes. A user, including an architect, generally visualizes deployment architecture by drawing it using a conventional tool. The computer based application system/tool 202 enables an architect to visualize the deployment architecture using the Drawing Tool Component 204, such as a “Canvas”. The drawing tool component 204 uses a proprietary algorithm to implement the computer based application system/tool 202 algorithms that translate the drawing into corresponding various components of the target cloud service provider. The drawing tool component 204 enables the users to draw cloud objects and relate them together to create architecture.

[0042] Further, the drawing tool component 204 sends commands to the cloud object property mapper 206 to create, configure and connect multiple properties/components of the drawn cloud objects in a desired format which is related (or related to be mapped) to a target cloud platform. Thereafter, the cloud object property mapper 206 maps various properties of each cloud object, drawn at the drawing tool component 204, and maps them to properties/components of a target cloud platforms. [0043] The cloud object property mapper 206 sends commands to the cloud object translator 208 to configure the properties/components of the drawn cloud objects as created and configured by the cloud object property mapper 206. Hence, the cloud object translator 208 identifies the foundational cloud object, and creates the hierarchy of cloud objects that are native to a target cloud platform. The cloud object translator 208 , further, executes the target cloud native commands passing these cloud objects as parameters for creating, modifying or deleting these cloud objects.

[0044] FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic block diagram showing a method 300 implemented by the computer based application system/tool 202, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The computer based application system/tool 202 implements one or more proprietary algorithms to execute the method 300, in combination with executing one or more functionalities of the drawing tool component 204, the Cloud Object Property Mapper 206 and the Cloud Object Translator 208, and relationships between these components of the application system/tool 202, as shown and described above in the FIG. 2.

[0045] The drawing tool component 204 of the application system/tool 202 uses a proprietary algorithm to implement the computer based application system/tool 202 algorithms that translate a drawing into corresponding various components of the target cloud service provider. The drawing tool component 204 enables the users to draw cloud objects and relate them together to create architecture, at step 302.

[0046] Further, the drawing tool component 204 sends commands to the cloud object property mapper 206 to map various properties of each cloud object, drawn at the drawing tool component 204, and maps them to target cloud platforms, at step 304.

[0047] The cloud object property mapper 206 sends commands to the cloud object translator 208 to configure the properties/components of the drawn cloud objects as created and configured by the drawing tool 204. Hence, at step 306, the cloud object translator 208 identifies the foundational cloud object for creating the hierarchy of cloud objects that are native to a target cloud platform. The cloud object translator 208, further, executes the target cloud native commands passing these cloud objects as parameters for creating, modifying or deleting these cloud objects.

[0048] This mechanism allows a user, such as the architect to focus on its Architecture instead of learning how to implement the architecture on a single or multiple cloud(s). [0049] FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic block diagram showing a computer based application system/tool 400, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The system 400 includes a cloud object property mapper 402 that may function similarly to the cloud object property mapper 206; and a cloud diagramming tool 404 that may function similarly to the drawing tool component 204. The system 400 may be provide an additional functionality to the computer based application system/tool 202.

[0050] The system 400 further includes a validation engine 406 that validates the multiple cloud objects and the relations between the cloud objects drawn by the cloud diagramming tool 404, and further validates this for the cloud object property mapper 402 that receives such validation, and drawn cloud objects and creates, configures and connects multiple properties/components of the cloud objects by mapping them to properties/components of a desired target cloud platform.

[0051] The system 400 further include a cost calculation engine 408 that forecasts running cost and propose cost optimization avenues and also forecasts cost overruns based on a budge allocated. Such forecasts may be provided to the cloud object property mapper 402 and the cloud diagramming tool 404. [0052] Further, the system 400 also includes a recommendation engine 410 and a deployment engine 412 that works in communication for intelligently proposing regions of deployment based on type of workload and its criticality. The deployment engine 412 may receive the configured properties/components of the desired target cloud platform from the cloud object property mapper 402 for intelligently proposing regions of deployment.

[0053] Additionally, the system 400 may automatic rollback the provisioned infrastructure as per user requirements [414], according to an embodiment. [0054] Additionally, the system 400 may also alert user of compliance, regulatory, Governance and Standardization issues prior to deployment, according to an embodiment.

[0055] Advantageously, the present invention provides a computer based application system/tool which creates cloud agnostic architecture; creates cloud Agnostic Service Designs; monitors the performance, cost usage for architectures deployed; visualizes/views various components of applications; predicts security vulnerabilities; enables various teams to collaborate.

[0056] While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Indeed, the novel methods, devices, and systems described herein may be embodied in a variety of other forms. Furthermore, various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form of the methods, devices, and systems described herein may be made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.
