Abstract

Management of communication systems is facilitated. A method comprises: processing, by a device comprising a processor, first information representative of human-readable language and indicative of terms of agreements associated with respective software for a communication system, wherein the communication system is arranged according to a first configuration of virtual machines and server devices, and wherein the agreements comprise license agreements for the respective software; converting, by the device, the first information into machine-readable rules indicative of the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the communication system; and based on a result of comparing the machine-readable rules and first information indicative of the first configuration, determining, by the device, whether the first configuration of the communication system satisfies a defined criterion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 converting, by a device comprising a processor, using an artificial intelligence model that performs language processing of a human-readable language format, a document in the human-readable language format and indicative of terms of agreements associated with respective software for a communication system, into machine-executable rules that enforce the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the communication system; and   configuring, by the device, using the machine-executable rules, virtual machines and server devices of the communication system according to a defined criterion related to the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the communication system.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein an agreement of the agreements identifies a defined configuration of virtual machines and server devices. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein configuring the virtual machines and server devices comprising configuring at least a portion of the virtual machines and server devices into the defined configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing a likelihood of a legal penalty associated with a violation of the agreements associated with the respective software. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing a cost of the communication system. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with enhancing respective values of the agreements associated with the respective software. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with a performance of the respective software. 
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 translating, using an artificial intelligence model that performs language processing of a human-readable language format, a document in the human-readable language format and indicative of terms of agreements associated with respective software for a communication system, into machine-executable rules that enforce the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the communication system; and 
 arranging, using the machine-executable rules, virtual machines and server devices of the communication system according to a defined criterion related to the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the communication system. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein an agreement of the agreements identifies a defined configuration of virtual machines and server devices. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein arranging the virtual machines and server devices comprising arranging a portion of the virtual machines and server devices into the defined configuration. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing a likelihood of a cost associated with a violation of the agreements associated with the respective software while obtaining a defined resource utilization level. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing costs of the respective software. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with improving respective values of the agreements associated with the respective software. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with a performance of the communication system. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 converting, using an artificial intelligence model that performs language processing of a human-readable language format, a document in the human-readable language format and indicative of terms of agreements associated with respective software for a cloud system, into machine-executable rules that enforce the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the cloud system; and   configuring, using the machine-executable rules, virtual machines and server devices of the cloud system according to a defined criterion related to the terms of the agreements associated with the respective software for the cloud system.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein an agreement of the agreements identifies a defined configuration of virtual machines and server devices. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein configuring the virtual machines and server devices comprising configuring a subset of the virtual machines and server devices into the defined configuration. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing a probability of a legal penalty associated with a violation of the agreements associated with the respective software. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with obtaining a defined resource utilization level of the cloud system. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the defined criterion is associated with reducing a cost of the cloud system.
