Performing cross-layer orchestration of resources in data center having multi-layer architecture

A system, comprising:

• a data center including a multi-layer architecture;
• and
• computer-executable program logic encoded in memory of one or more computers, including one or more processors and memory, enabled to perform cross-layer orchestration of resources in the datacenter, wherein the computer-executable program logic is configured for the execution of:
• performing unified control of all physical and virtual resources in all layers of the data center thereby creating a single control plane;
• performing unified storage of all topologies and machine-generated data of all layers of the data center;
• and
• orchestrating the resources of the data center based on the unified control and the unified storage;
• wherein the multi-layer architecture comprises a bare-metal layer, an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, and a Platform as a Service (PaaS) layer, wherein the physical and virtual resources of all resources of all layers of the data center comprise hardware resources in the bare-metal layer, virtual machine resources in the IaaS layer, and resources in the PaaS layer for developing, running and managing one or more applications, wherein the physical and virtual resources of all layers of the data center are unifiedly controlled through a remote procedure call (RPC) via a message bus that communicates with each physical resource and each virtual resource, and wherein the topologies and machine-generated data of all layers of the data center are also unifiedly stored through the remote procedure call (RPC) via the message bus.

A computer program product for performing cross-layer orchestration of resources in a data center having a multi-layer architecture, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer-executable code, the code configured, using one or more processors and memory, to enable the execution of:
• performing unified control of all physical and virtual resources in all layers of the data center thereby creating a single control plane;
• performing unified storage of all topologies and machine-generated data of all layers of the data center;
• and
• orchestrating the resources of the data center based on the unified control and the unified storage;
• wherein the multi-layer architecture comprises a bare-metal layer, an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, and a Platform as a Service (PaaS) layer, wherein the physical and virtual resources of all resources of all layers of the data center comprise hardware resources in the bare-metal layer, virtual machine resources in the IaaS layer, and resources in the PaaS layer for developing, running and managing one or more applications, wherein the physical and virtual resources of all layers of the data center are unifiedly controlled through a remote procedure call (RPC) via a message bus that communicates with each physical resource and each virtual resource, and wherein the topologies and machine-generated data of all layers of the data center are also unifiedly stored through the remote procedure call (RPC) via the message bus.
