Abstract
A network characteristic of current resources providing a network service may be identified. A determination as to whether the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies a load policy may be made. In response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy, a new resource may be provisioned to provide the network service a first location associated with the new resource may be transmitted to a server that includes records associated with the network service. Otherwise, when the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies the load policy, an instruction to use an existing record at the server may be transmitted to the server.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a network service;
- identifying a network characteristic of current resources providing the network service;
- determining whether the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies a load policy;
- provisioning, by a processing device, a new resource to provide the network service in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- transmitting, to a server comprising records associated with the network service, a first location associated with the new resource in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- and
- transmitting, to the server, an instruction to use an existing record at the server in response to the network characteristic of the current resources satisfying the load policy, the existing record being associated with one of the current resources that provides the network service.
A system comprising:
- a memory to store information associated with a load policy;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory, to:
- identify a network service;
- identify a network characteristic of current resources providing the network service;
- determine whether the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies a load policy;
- provision a new resource to provide the network service in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- transmit, to a server comprising records associated with the network service, a first location associated with the new resource in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- and
- transmit, to the server, an instruction to use an existing record at the server in response to the network characteristic of the current resources satisfying the load policy, the existing record being associated with one of the current resources that provides the network service.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising data that, when accessed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- identify a network service;
- identify a network characteristic of current resources providing the network service;
- determine, by the processing device, whether the network characteristic of the current resources satisfies a load policy;
- provision a new resource to provide the network service in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- transmit, to a server comprising records associated with the network service, a first location associated with the new resource in response to the network characteristic of the current resources not satisfying the load policy;
- and
- transmit, to the server, an instruction to use an existing record at the server in response to the network characteristic of the current resources satisfying the load policy, the existing record being associated with one of the current resources that provides the network service.
