Cloud platform or cloud provider selection

摘要

In some examples, a system receives information indicating resources relating to a workload, and receives information indicating relative priorities of a plurality of factors that affect placement of the workload on a cloud platform. For each respective cloud platform of a plurality of cloud platforms, the system computes factor values representing respective factors of the plurality of factors, the factor values computed for the respective cloud platform dependent upon information pertaining to the plurality of factors provided for the respective cloud platform, and computes an aggregate score based on the factor values for the respective cloud platform and weights assigned to the factor values based on the relative priorities. The system selects, for placement of the workload, a cloud platform from among the plurality of cloud platforms based on the aggregate scores.
