Cloud Computing is a powerful and flexible software environment, which delegates the material’s management and in which users pay as they go. Rather than operating their own data centers, today cloud users run their applications on the remote cloud infrastructures that are owned and managed by cloud providers. Cloud users create virtual machine instances to run their specific application logic without knowing the underlying physical infrastructure. On the other side, cloud provider manage and operate their cloud infrastructures without knowing their customers’ applications. Due to the disjoint ownership of applications and infrastructures, if a problem occurs, there is no visibility for either cloud users or providers to understand the whole context of the incident and solve it quickly. To this end, we propose software solution Cloud Vision, to provide some visibility through the middle virtualization layer for both cloud users and providers to address their problems quickly. Cloud Vision automatically tracks each VM instance’s configuration status and maintains their life-cycle configuration record in configuration management database(CMDB). When the user reports a problem, our algorithm automatically analyze CMDB to probabilistic determine the root cause and invoke a recovery process by interacting with the cloud user
