Abstract

A branch device that may be operable to: request to initiate access to a cloud computing application; map or link service level agreement information associated with the cloud computing application to performance and uptime specifications associated with a policy engine; and communicate with a first computational node that runs a first instance of the cloud computing application. Also, the branch device may be operable to: compare the performance data and the uptime data retrieved from the first computational node against the specifications, respectively; direct a request to the first instance, where the performance data and the uptime data at least satisfies the specifications, respectively; and direct a request to a second instance of the cloud computing application running on a second computational node, where the performance data and the uptime data do not satisfy the specifications, respectively.
