US Patent 11652724 Service proxies for automating data center builds

Disclosed are various embodiments for automating data center builds through the use of service proxies. A proxy is configured in a testing computing environment to receive service calls for a plurality of first services in the testing computing environment. The proxy forwards the service calls to at least one corresponding instance of the plurality of first services not in the testing computing environment. One or more second services in the testing computing environment that generate the service calls for the plurality of first services are then tested. The service calls are handled by the proxy during testing.
