Dynamic weighting for cloud-based provisioning systems

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, a Service Deployment Infrastructure (SDI) request engine is disclosed. The SDI request engine can perform tracking, management and provisioning of services subscribed to by users of a computer infrastructure system. The SDI request engine can be deployed to process large volumes of provisioning requests and deliver time critical applications for customers. The SDI request engine can translate each request into a list of tasks of various sizes based on the requirement and configuration of the request, and store each task in a queue. In certain embodiments, the SDI request engine may evaluate a dynamic weight associated with each task to prioritize the processing of tasks, which may improve the overall throughput of request processing.
