In this case, the exception handling algorithm may be set differently for each step for each cloud service, and may be changed and designed later according to a communication environment, a driving situation, and the like.

Next, the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 generates a header based on the condition, and combines its own operation information with the generated header (S430).

The multi-cloud integrated management system 200 generates a header including a vendor condition, a service condition, and an operation condition, and may generate a matched operation among operation information built internally.

In addition, the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 may sequentially combine the header and its own operation through a combining process.

Next, the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 delivers the combined header and internal operation information through its own API (S440).

The multi-cloud integrated management system 200 may be delivered through its own API so that it can be executed within an interlocked application.

6 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a configuration of generating a header in a multi-cloud integrated management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 detects AWS as a vendor condition, Compute as a service condition, and Create as an operation condition, according to each condition, as shown in A of FIG. 6, AWS. Compute. You can create header information with Create.

And by combining the pre-set operation information (Server.VM.Location) used in the application interlocked with the multi-cloud integrated management system 200,'AWS. Compute. Create. Create'Server.VM, Location'. The multi-cloud integrated management system 200 may deliver and execute a combination of a header and an operation generated through its own API to the application.

Meanwhile, service signals and APIs for arbitrary cloud services included in the multi-cloud may be directly input from a user through an application linked to the multi-cloud integrated management system 200.

When a service signal and API for a specific cloud service are directly input from the user, the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 may sequentially extract a vendor condition, a service condition, and an operation condition from the service signal. And it may further include the step of specifying a cloud service in response to the condition, converting it to a corresponding function, and executing it.

For example, when a user terminal checks the generation of computing of a specific cloud service and receives a service signal for capacity, size, etc., the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 responds to the received service signal in response to the extracted condition. It can be converted into a computing-generated function of a cloud service and executed by calling it through an API.

As such, the multi-cloud integrated management system 200 can improve operational and management efficiency by providing an integrated and unified operation solution and management solution in a multi-cloud environment that provides two or more cloud vendors.
