System and method for building, optimizing, and enforcing infrastructure on cloud based computing environment

A method for building, optimizing, and maintaining a computing infrastructure on a cloud computing environment is provided. A user provides a high-level declaration to a cloud environment operating system, specifying the details of the infrastructure that is intended to be built on the cloud. A cloud environment operating system converts the high level declaration to a lower level declaration andthen to a series of instructions that can be executed by the cloud to build the desired infrastructure. The cloud environment operating system can also continuously monitor the infrastructure once itis built on the cloud. If the cloud environment operating system notices any discrepancies between the user's original specification and the infrastructure as built on the cloud, the operating systemcan work to modify the existing infrastructure on the cloud to conform to the infrastructure specified by a user. 提供了种用于在云计算环境中构建、优化和维护计算基础架构的方法。用户向云环境操作系统提供高级声明，其指定意欲在云上构建的基础架构的细节。云环境操作系统将高级声明转换为较低级声明，然后转换为可由云执行以构建期望的基础架构的系列指令
