US Patent 11907944 Managing pre-provisioning of resources using bitemporal analysis

Embodiments disclosed are directed to ensuring resource compliance within a cloud-based environment. The embodiments include steps for performing pre-provisioning checks of resources, such as network protocols, prior to their deployment within the cloud-based environment. These steps include using bitemporal analysis to determine the impact of deploying resources within the environment through the use of multiple execution timelines where the impact of deploying a resource may be evaluated on an alternative timeline that does not change the current resource scope of the cloud-based environment.
