A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11915166B2) outlines a computer-implemented method for automating the migration of network computing tasks to cloud service providers. The method involves an automated discovery system utilizing probe computing devices to determine the computing services needed from cloud providers, identify potential providers, and establish dependencies between network assets. An intermediary system, operating between the network and cloud providers, then visualizes information on the providers based on their capabilities, allowing users to interact with the interface to migrate tasks automatically.

Furthermore, the patent details a system that includes an automated discovery subsystem and an intermediary subsystem to facilitate the migration process. The automated discovery subsystem determines required computing services and dependencies within the network, while the intermediary subsystem generates visual representations of cloud providers based on their capabilities. This system enables the automatic migration of network tasks to cloud providers, optimizing resource allocation and task execution. Overall, the patent aims to streamline the process of transitioning network computing tasks to cloud environments efficiently and effectively.
