Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for creating a tenant cloud

1. A method for creating a tenant cloud, the method comprising:

receiving a request for creating a tenant cloud, wherein the request includes a tenant cloud policy indicating at least one application for utilizing a tenant cloud, wherein the tenant cloud includes a set of resources configured to act as a single tenant computing environment;

determining, using the tenant cloud policy, a set of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein determining, using the tenant cloud policy, the set of resources for the tenant cloud includes determining multiple potential sets of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is based on at least in part a type of connection topology connecting compute and storage resources in the respective potential set of resources, wherein at least one of the multiple sets of resources are connected using a mesh connection topology, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is weighted or scored based on requirements of the tenant cloud policy, wherein the set of resources is selected from among the multiple potential sets of resources based on the highest weight or score;

configuring the set of resources to act as the single tenant computing environment; and

deploying the at least one application for utilizing the tenant cloud.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the request is received via at least one member selected from a group consisting of a converged infrastructure system, a user interface, a graphical user interface (GUI), a command-line interface (CLI), and an application programming interface (API).

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the tenant cloud policy indicates that at least one type of resource has priority over other factors when determining the set of resources for the tenant cloud.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein configuring the set of resources includes configuring the set of resources such that only an owner of the tenant cloud can subsequently administer the set of resources.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein determining, using the tenant cloud policy, the set of resources for the tenant cloud includes identifying available resources from a group of resources that satisfies the tenant cloud policy.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of resources includes at least two members selected from a group consisting of a compute component, a network component, or a storage component.

7. A system for creating a tenant cloud, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a tenant cloud engine implemented using the processor, wherein the tenant cloud engine is configured to receiving a request for creating a tenant cloud, wherein the request includes a tenant cloud policy indicating at least one application for utilizing a tenant cloud, wherein the tenant cloud includes a set of resources configured to act as a single tenant computing environment, to determine, using the tenant cloud policy, a set of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein the tenant cloud engine is configured to determine multiple potential sets of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is based on at least in part a type of connection topology connecting compute and storage resources in the respective potential set of resources, wherein at least one of the multiple sets of resources are connected using a mesh connection topology, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is weighted or scored based on requirements of the tenant cloud policy, wherein the set of resources is selected from among the multiple potential sets of resources based on the highest weight or score, to configure the set of resources to act as the single tenant computing environment, and to deploy the at least one application for utilizing the tenant cloud.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the request is received via at least one member selected from a group consisting of a second converged infrastructure system, a user interface, a graphical user interface (GUI), a command-line interface (CLI), and an application programming interface (API).

9. The system of claim 7 wherein the tenant cloud policy indicates that at least one type of resource has priority over other factors when determining the set of resources for the tenant cloud.

10. The system of claim 7 wherein the tenant cloud engine is configured to configure the set of resources such that only an owner of the tenant cloud can subsequently administer the set of resources.

11. The system of claim 7 wherein the tenant cloud engine is configured to identify available resources from a group of resources that satisfies the tenant cloud policy.

12. The system of claim 7 wherein the set of resources includes at least two members selected from a group consisting of a compute component, a network component, or a storage component.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to perform steps comprising:

receiving a request for creating a tenant cloud, wherein the request includes a tenant cloud policy indicating at least one application for utilizing a tenant cloud, wherein the tenant cloud includes a set of resources configured to act as a single tenant computing environment;

determining, using the tenant cloud policy, a set of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein determining, using the tenant cloud policy, the set of resources for the tenant cloud includes determining multiple potential sets of resources for the tenant cloud, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is based on at least in part a type of connection topology connecting compute and storage resources in the respective potential set of resources, wherein at least one of the multiple sets of resources are connected using a mesh connection topology, wherein each of the multiple potential sets of resources is weighted or scored based on requirements of the tenant cloud policy, wherein the set of resources is selected from among the multiple potential sets of resources based on the highest weight or score;

configuring the set of resources to act as the single tenant computing environment; and

deploying the at least one application for utilizing the tenant cloud.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the request is received via at least one member selected from a group consisting of a converged infrastructure system, a user interface, a graphical user interface (GUI), a command-line interface (CLI), and an application programming interface (API).

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the tenant cloud policy indicates that at least one type of resource has priority over other factors when determining the set of resources for the tenant cloud.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein configuring the set of resources includes configuring the set of resources such that only an owner of the tenant cloud can subsequently administer the set of resources.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein determining, using the tenant cloud policy, the set of resources for the tenant cloud includes identifying available resources from a group of resources that satisfies the tenant cloud policy.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the set of resources includes at least two members selected from a group consisting of a compute component, a network component, or a storage component.
