Abstract
Systems and methods may create and manage hybrid clouds including both standard compute nodes and edge devices. Edge devices can be enrolled in a hybrid cloud by deploying a lightweight container to the edge device.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving a resource request;
- determining whether an edge device of a plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to a satisfaction of the resource request;
- in response to determining which of the plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request, deploying a lightweight management container to each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request;
- enrolling each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request in a hybrid cloud using the lightweight management container;
- and
- satisfying the resource request using each edge device enrolled to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request.

A computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving a resource request;
- determining whether an edge device of a plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to a satisfaction of the resource request;
- in response to determining which of the plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request, deploying a lightweight management container to each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request;
- enrolling each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request in a hybrid cloud using the lightweight management container;
- and
- satisfying the resource request using each edge device enrolled to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of compute nodes;
- a plurality of edge devices;
- and
- an extension component communicatively connected with the plurality of edge devices, wherein the extension component comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing a cloud extension component of a managed hybrid cloud configured to communicate with the edge devices and compute nodes and executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the cloud extension component to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving a resource request;
- determining whether an edge device of a plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to a satisfaction of the resource request;
- in response to determining which of the plurality of edge devices can satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request, deploying a lightweight management container to each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request;
- enrolling each edge device of the plurality of edge devices to be used to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request in a hybrid cloud using the lightweight management container;
- and
- satisfying the resource request using each edge device enrolled to satisfy the resource request or contribute to the satisfaction of the resource request.
