Abstract
A system comprising a network cloud configured for a point of deployment containerized environment, a plurality of servers in communication with the network cloud, configured to establishing a point of deployment (POD) in one of the plurality of servers, receiving a determination that the POD is not operational, mapping the topology of the POD, and based on the mapping step, troubleshooting the POD in accordance with a set of rules.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a network cloud that is configured for a point of deployment (POD) containerized environment;
- a plurality of servers in communication with the network cloud;
- an input-output interface;
- a processor coupled to the input-output interface wherein the processor is further coupled to a memory, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- mapping a topology of connections to and from a POD that is not operational;
- based on the mapping, testing the connections of the POD;
- responsive to a first determination of a failure of a connection of the POD, automatically repairing the connection;
- responsive to a second determination of failing to automatically repair the connection, generating a trouble ticket;
- and
- responsive to a third determination of no failure of the connections of the POD, troubleshooting a configuration of the POD in accordance with a set of rules.
A method comprising:
- mapping, by a processing system comprising a processor, a topology of connections of a point of deployment (POD) that is not operational in one of a plurality of servers;
- based on the mapping, testing, by the processing system, the connections of the POD;
- responsive to a first determination of a failure of a connection of the POD, automatically repairing the connection by the processing system;
- responsive to a second determination of failing to automatically repair the connection, generating, by the processing system, a trouble ticket and
- responsive to a third determination of no failure of the connections of the POD, troubleshooting, by the processing system, a configuration of the POD in accordance with a set of rules.
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- mapping a topology of connections of a point of deployment (POD) that is not operational;
- based on the mapping, testing the connections of the POD;
- responsive to a first determination of a failure of a connection of the POD, automatically repairing the connection;
- responsive to a second determination of failing to automatically repair the connection, generating a trouble ticket;
- and
- responsive to a third determination of no failure of the connections of the POD, troubleshooting a configuration of the POD in accordance with a set of rules.
