Calendar based management of information technology (IT) tasks

Abstract:

Techniques for providing a calendar based provisioning and management for IT administrator/user activities in a virtual datacenter is described. In one example embodiment, an IT task is scheduled as a calendar appointment using an at least one registered calendar application residing in a user device. The at least one registered calendar application is then monitored for the scheduled IT task. The scheduled IT task is then translated into an action/command based on the outcome of the monitoring. The action/command is then issued to manage the scheduled IT task in the datacenter/cloud.
