TYPE-TO-TYPE ANALYSIS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNICAL COMPONENTS

A hybrid cloud architecture system including hardware microprocessor circuitry including type definition circuitry configured to assign a first type specifier to a first component type that a first service provider is able to instantiate and run in a first virtualized hosting region provided by the first service provider, assign a second type specifier to a second component type that a second service provider is able to instantiate and run in a second virtualized hosting region provided by the second service provider, property linking circuitry configured to link a first set of technical properties to the first component type, the first set of technical properties including an input technical property of the first component type for translation, and link a second set of technical properties to the second component type the second set of technical properties including an output technical property of the second component type, property translation circuitry including memory configured to store an input table configured to assign the input technical property to a first translation identifier, and an output table configured to link the first translation identifier to the second component type, where the property translation circuitry is configured to establish a translation correspondence between the first set of technical properties for the first component type and the second set of technical properties for the second component type, and type mapping circuitry configured to translate the first component type into the second component type according to the translation correspondence, for instantiating and running the second component type in the second virtualized hosting region provided by the second service provider instead of instantiating and running the first component type.
