Abstract

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer system for intelligently provisioning cloud information services. The computer system determines a target computing zone based on location constraints defined in service processing rules, in response to receiving service request. The computer system determines whether a merger or a split is needed, based on a score for the resources, scores for the respective processing nodes, and operational metadata. The computer system determines whether request processing constraints defined in the service processing rules allow the merger or the split. The computer system processes, in the target computing zone, the service request with the merger or the split, in response to determining that the merger or the split is needed and in response to determining that the request processing rules allow the merger or the split.
