Dynamic cloud solution catalog

1. A cloud infrastructure, comprising: a computing system including a display screen, the computing system including: a cloud portal for providing user access to cloud resources; a cloud catalog database having a catalog list of cloud resources; a cloud catalog solution generator that populates the cloud catalog database, wherein the cloud catalog solution generator includes:

a first interface process for receiving event data for resources associated within a cloud infrastructure;

a second interface process for receiving usage/account information, monitored information, and document information;

an aggregation system that continuously aggregates the event data with the usage/account information, monitored information, and document information to create a dynamic catalog list having supplementary information for items in the catalog list, wherein the document information includes links to documents associated with cloud resources; and

a third interface process for outputting the dynamic catalog list to a cloud catalog database;

a cloud catalog suggestion engine that processes user inputs entered via the cloud portal and provides a set of suggested items from the cloud catalog database;

the computing device being configured to display on the display screen via the cloud portal the set of suggested items from the cloud catalog database and a menu of selectable hyperlinks for each suggested item, the selectable hyperlinks for each suggested item being selectable by a user to access and display on the display screen at least a portion of the supplementary information associated with the suggested item, the hyperlinks including links to previous deployments including the suggested items; and

a provisioning system for receiving, via the cloud portal, a user selection of a set of the suggested items from the cloud catalog.

2. The cloud infrastructure of claim 1 , wherein the usage/account information includes feedback from other users who have provisioned cloud resources.

3. The cloud infrastructure of claim 1 , wherein the monitored information includes performance metrics for provisioned cloud resources.

4. The cloud infrastructure of claim 1 , wherein the cloud catalog suggestion engine includes a rules engine for determining suggested items based on user inputs that include user requirements, a usage history, and user preferences.

5. A method for deploying a cloud infrastructure, comprising:

allowing, by a computer infrastructure including a computing system coupled to a display screen, user access to cloud resources via a cloud portal;

populating, by a cloud catalog solution generator, a cloud catalog database, the populating comprising:

receiving, by a first interface process of the cloud catalog solution generator, event data for resources associated within a cloud environment;

receiving, by a second interface process of the cloud catalog solution generator, usage and/or account information, monitored information, and document information;

continuously arrogating, by an aggregation system of the cloud catalog solution generator, the event data with the usage and/or account information, the monitored information, and the document information to create a dynamic catalog list having supplementary information for items in the catalog list, wherein the document information includes links to documents associated with cloud resources;

outputting, by a third interface process of the cloud catalog solution generator, the dynamic catalog list to the cloud catalog database; and

processing, by a cloud catalog suggestion engine, user inputs entered via the cloud portal, wherein the cloud catalog suggestion engine further provides a set of suggested items from the cloud catalog database;

displaying on the display screen via the cloud portal the set of suggested items from the cloud catalog database and a menu of selectable hyperlinks for each suggested item, the selectable hyperlinks for each suggested item being selectable by a user to access and display on the display screen at least a portion of the supplementary information associated with the suggested item, the hyperlinks including links to previous deployments including the suggested items; and

receiving, by a provisioning system via the cloud portal, a user selection of a set of the suggested items from the cloud catalog.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the usage/account information includes feedback from other users who have provisioned cloud resources.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the monitored information includes performance metrics for provisioned cloud resources.
