Abstract:
A cloud computing system management system including a plurality of computing devices configured to host virtual machine instances, each computing device in the plurality of computing devices including a local agent that continuously evaluates the observed load relative to a utility maximization function. If observed load is higher than a calculated optimal level, individual loading processes are offered for “sale” via a market scheduler. If observed load is lower than a calculated optimal level, then available capacity is offered as a bid via the market scheduler. The market scheduler matches bids with available processes and coordinates the transfer of load from the selling device to the buying device. The offered prices and utility maximization functions can be employed to optimize the performance of the cloud system as a whole.

Claim (Index 1):
A cloud computing system, the system comprising:\n an access control device associating a set of immutable values with a set of roles, and further associating each role in the set of roles with a distinct subset of permissions from a set of permissions; a first resource having configuration information a first associated immutable value, where the first associated immutable value corresponds to an immutable value within the set of immutable values; a second resource having a second associated immutable value, where the second associated immutable value corresponds to an immutable value within the set of immutable values; a first virtual machine instance operably coupled to the first resource, wherein an the immutable value associated with the first resource is used to uniquely denotes an identify of the virtual machine instance and is assigned to the first virtual machine instance; a second virtual machine instance operably coupled to the second resource, wherein the immutable value associated with the second resource is used to uniquely identify the second virtual machine instance; wherein the first virtual machine instance and the second virtual machine instance are communicably coupled to each other and to the access control device; and wherein the first virtual machine instance and the second virtual machine instance interoperate only if the permissions associated with the first immutable value and with the second immutable value in the access control device allow the interoperation. ; and an authentication manager that receives a request including the immutable value from the virtual machine instance for access to the resource, authenticates, based on the identity of the virtual machine instance, the virtual machine instance, determines that the virtual machine instance has successfully authenticated, and provides, based on the determination that the virtual machine instance has successfully authenticated, the configuration information to the virtual machine instance.
