A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924066B2) discloses a system for ticket-based provisioning of cloud infrastructure to create computing workspaces for an enterprise. The system includes a processor, a module catalog with infrastructure-as-code (IAC) modules, and a service catalog with electronic entries mapped to the IAC modules. Each ticket specifies entries in the service catalog, representing hardware, software, or services needed for a workspace. The processor binds the specified entries with IAC modules to provision cloud resources from multiple providers, fulfilling the requested services.

Furthermore, the system involves the processor connecting with cloud providers through application programming interfaces (APIs) and executing business rules during resource provisioning. Additionally, an execution plan is generated and validated for the cloud infrastructure based on the defined business rules. A computer program product is also described in the patent, storing instructions for generating a service catalog, binding entries with IAC modules, and instantiating computing resources on cloud providers. The product also includes features for executing business rules and validating the execution plan, ensuring efficient and rule-compliant provisioning of cloud infrastructure for enterprise workspaces.
