The application is at least directed to a core network including a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for registering a network function or network function template in the core network. The network includes a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory. The processor is configured to perform the instruction of determining that registration of the network function or network function template is acceptable. The processor is also configured to perform the instruction of transmitting a message including the network function or network function template to a repository in the core network. The processor is also configured to perform the instruction of verifying the network function or network function template against existing policies in the core network. The processor is also configured to perform the instruction of registering the network function or network function template in the repository after verification. The application is also directed to a core network that discovers a network function or network function template therein. The application is also directed to a core network that instantiates a network function.

A method includes receiving a plurality of configurations comprising a first configuration for provisioning a first set of network services at a first resource of an edge device and a second configuration for provisioning a second set of network services at the first resource, a first configuration group identifier identifying a configuration group for the first configuration, and a first network performance parameter for the configuration group. The method further includes determining a performance factor for the first resource providing the first set of network services to one or more client devices. The method further includes, in response to determining that the performance factor does not satisfy the first network performance parameter for the configuration group and that the first configuration group identifier identifies the configuration group for the first configuration, moving the first configuration from the first resource to a second resource of the edge device.

Some examples described herein relate to providing a customized cloud service. In an example, Key Service Indicators (KSI) may be received for a cloud service. The Key Service Indicators may be associated with a cloud service template for providing the cloud service. The resources required for providing the cloud service may be identified based on the Key Service Indicators.

This application belongs to the field of service orchestration and discloses a service orchestration method and apparatus, and a service provisioning method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining a service template; obtaining a service identity, a service attribute, and a service policy that are entered by an operator and a default service parameter; filling in the options of the service template with the service attribute and the service policy that are entered by the operator and the default service parameter; associating the service template that is filled in with the service identity; and storing the service template that is associated with the service identity in a service type library, and publishing the service template to the user.

The smart network topology systems and methods of the present disclosure are aimed at easing network administrator efforts in configuring network configurations to suit their network environment. For instance, the smart network topology system may provide predefined network topology types that an administrator can use when setting up network connectivity between client devices and other network devices such as media agents, storage servers, and the like. Further, the smart network topology system provides the user with a way to customize the routes created between the client computing devices and storage computing devices such that each client computing device is configured to communicate with only those storage computing devices that the client computing device needs to communicate with to perform one or more data protection operations.

One embodiment provides a computer implemented method, including: receiving interaction logs of a plurality of services of an application running on a system; generating an interaction graph identifying interactions between at least the at least one of the plurality of services and other of the plurality of services, wherein the identifying comprises identifying a frequency of interactions between services; determining constraints between at least the at least one of the plurality of services and the other of the plurality of services, wherein the constraints identify services that are dependent upon other services of the plurality of services and a compatibility of services with respect to other services of the plurality of services; and creating a remediation plan for updating the at least one of the plurality of services, wherein the remediation plan identifies a time for updating the at least one of the plurality of services.

Examples of an apparatus and method for provisioning a service are described. Descriptors are described that represent the service. These are accessed and used to determine a reference required to implement the service. The reference indicates a type of entity and an entity to be passed to a function. The descriptor for the service is instantiated to obtain an instance of the service. This includes obtaining an instance of the type of entity indicated by the reference.

A method and a device for determining deployment information of a network are disclosed. The method for determining deployment information of a network includes: receiving, by a first network entity, a first message sent by a second network entity, where the first message carries first deployment information, and the first deployment information is deployment information of a network component; and determining, by the first network entity, second deployment information based on the first deployment information, where the second deployment information is deployment information of a network, and the network includes at least one network component. The foregoing solution can improve accuracy of determining deployment information of a network.

A system and a method for application transformation to cloud by conversion of an application source code to a cloud native code is provided. A first and a second transformation recommendation path is received and a set of remediation templates are applied based on the first and the second transformation recommendation paths where the set of remediation steps comprises pre-defined parameterized actions. The system comprises a microservices unit configured to optimize assessment and implementation of microservices code for multiple target cloud platforms by determining a count of microservices anti-patterns in a microservices code, wherein the anti-patterns represent a pattern of the microservices code and ascertaining a current state of the microservices code by determining a maturity score. A set of repeatable steps associated with microservices code development are provided in a bundled form for accelerated implementation of changes in the microservices code for deployment on the multiple target cloud platforms.

Systems and methods described herein provide unified policy management framework network functions in enterprise networks. The systems and methods store an abstract micro-service template configured from predefined configuration elements; receive descriptive information for a vendor-specific micro-service that corresponds to the abstract micro-service template; solicit first customer labels for at least some of the predefined configuration elements associated with a group of users for a micro-service on a customer network; solicit second customer labels for other of the predefined configuration elements associated with applications used on the customer network; generate a vendor-agnostic micro-service template using the first customer labels, the second customer labels, and the abstract micro-service template; convert, based on the descriptive information, the vendor-agnostic micro-service template into a vendor-specific micro-service template for the customer; and generate, based on the vendor-specific micro-service template, a network policy for enforcement across multiple sites of the customer network.
