Abstract:
A framework instantiates an application from its disk snapshots. The disk snapshots are taken from a different network environment and migrated to a virtualized environment. Modifications to operating systems and hypervisors are avoided, and no special network isolation support is required. The framework is extensible and plug-in based, allowing product experts to provide knowledge about discovering, updating, starting and stopping of software components. This knowledge base is compiled into a plan that executes various interleaved configuration discovery, updates and start tasks such that a required configuration model can be discovered with minimal start and update task execution. The plan generation automatically stitches together knowledge for the various products, thus significantly simplifying the knowledge specification. Once discovery is complete, the framework utilizes the discovered model to update stale network configurations across software stack and customize configurations beyond network settings.
