US Patent 11360823 Predicting and Scheduling a frequency of scanning areas where occurrences of an actual state of a cloud environment departing from a desired state are high

Implementations include actions of receiving, by an intelligent quality assurance (iQA) platform, a desired state (DS) file including data indicative of a desired state of a cloud computing environment, triggering, by the iQA platform, an auto-discovery process to provide an actual state of the cloud computing environment based on cloud resources instantiated within the cloud environment, and application resources executing within the cloud environment, the auto-discovery process including retrieving first credentials to enable automated access to the cloud computing environment, determining, by the iQA platform, a delta between the actual state, and the desired state, and providing, by the iQA platform, a report including the delta.
