HIERARCHICAL MULTI-CLOUD KEY VALUE TAGGING GOVERNANCE ENGINE
In one aspect, a method of a hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance comprising: providing a hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance engine; and with the hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance engine: providing a plurality of tag values, wherein each tag is specified to have a value from a list of values, defines a set of baselines, organizing the set of baselines in a hierarchal manner, supporting a plurality of methods for matching the tag values, and specifying a plurality of conditions for each tag.
1 . A method of a hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance comprising:
providing a hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance engine; and
with the hierarchical multi-cloud key value tagging governance engine:
providing a plurality of tag values, wherein each tag is specified to have a value from a list of values,
defines a set of baselines,
organizing the set of baselines in a hierarchal manner,
supporting a plurality of methods for matching the tag values, and
specifying a plurality of conditions for each tag.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of baselines comprise a set of requirements for a plurality of tags across an organization.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the set of baselines are organized in the hierarchal manner defined at an organizational level.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the set of baselines are organized in the hierarchal manner defined at a cloud tenant level.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the set of baselines are organized in the hierarchal manner defined at a cloud-account level.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the set of baselines are organized in the hierarchal manner defined at a workload level.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein when the set of baselines are organized in the hierarchal manner than all specified cloud-resources have a tag ‘A’ with a particular value.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the set of baselines are defined lower down in the hierarchy and these override the organization baseline for a specified cloud-account and the cloud tenant and the cloud workload.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of conditions for each tag comprises a condition that a tag must start with a particular string.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of conditions for each tag comprises a condition that a tag must end with a particular string.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a regular expression is used to match against the tag value.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of conditions for each tag are recorded in a baseline to provide an innovative tagging governance solution.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein each regular expression that is recorded in a baseline to provide an innovative tagging governance solution.
