Abstract

According to one system of the invention, the system provides a cloud-computing service from a cloud-computing environment having a plurality of cloud-computing resources. The system may include a management module configured to manage a cloud-computing resource of the plurality of cloud-computing resources as a cloud-computing service, wherein the cloud-computing service performs a computer workload, an adapter configured to connect to the cloud-computing resource to the system and translate a management instruction received from the management module into a proprietary cloud application program interface call for the cloud-computing resource, a cloud service bus configured to route the management instruction from the management module to the adapter, a consumption module configured to allow a user to subscribe the cloud-computing service, a planning module configured to plan the cloud-computing service, and a build module configured to build the cloud-computing service from the cloud-computing resource.
