    摘要: An automated method for facilitating management of a data processing environment is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method may include facilitating creation of a first memorialization, in digital form, of first one or more changes made to a first data processing device of the data processing environment. In various embodiments, the method may further include facilitating creation of a second and a third memorialization, both in digital form, of second and third one or more changes made to a second and a third data processing device of the data processing environment, respectively. In various embodiments, the method may still further include facilitating automated approval of the second and third changes made to the second and third data processing devices, using the first, second and third memorializations. Other embodiments of the present invention may include, but are not limited to, apparatus adapted to facilitate practice of the above-described method.

    摘要: Techniques are for rule-based continuous drift and consistency management for target systems. In one embodiment, a set of rules is stored in volatile or non-volatile store. The set of rules may include one or more drift rules and/or one or more consistency rules. A rule may be applied to one or more associated targets to detect drift or inconsistency. A drift rule identifies a set of one or more attributes and a source and may be applied by comparing a first configuration of the set of one or more attributes on an associated target with a second configuration of the set of one or more attributes on the source. A consistency rule may be applied to a composite target by comparing member targets that are grouped by target type. Notification data may be output if target drift or inconsistency is detected to alert a user.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing a cloud hosted application able to manage virtual network (“VN”) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a process of managing VN using virtual machines (“VMs”) receives a message or request from a user requesting a new VN to be built. The request is sent from a dashboard to a network orchestrator via a communication network. The orchestrator is a VN manager able to facilitate building a VN based on users' input. In one aspect, the orchestrator provides a set of templates that represent VN devices or components to users for facilitating construction of VN. After configuring a VN, a cloud capable of hosting the network is selected. The network or VN is subsequently launched using at least a portion of computing resources allocated in the cloud.

    摘要: A method for upgrading a network functions virtualization application includes creating, by a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM), a network resource according to an upgrade plan for the network functions virtualization application; creating, by the VIM, a virtual machine for a new-version virtualized network function (VNF) according to the upgrade plan; configuring, by the VIM, the virtual machine on a test network according to the network resource; performing, by the VIM, upgrade configuration on the virtual machine according to an upgrade configuration script to obtain the new-version VNF; and switching, by an NFV orchestrator, an earlier-version VNF to the new-version VNF after determining that a function test of the new-version VNF on the test network is successful. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an automated upgrade procedure and upgrade steps for a network functions virtualization application are defined, so that upgrading the network functions virtualization application can be automated.
