Model driven process for automated deployment of domain 2.0 virtualized services and applications on cloud infrastructure

A method for deploying a virtualized service in a cloud infrastructure, comprising:

• generating a cloud services archive file describing topology and network requirements of the virtualized service;
• storing the services archive file in an order repository data store with an order ID associating the services archive file with the virtualized service;
• and
• by a master service orchestrator:
• transmitting cloud resource configuration instructions including the order ID to cause a cloud platform orchestrator to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a cloud resource configuration template from the cloud services archive file and to create cloud resources at appropriate data centers as specified by the cloud resource configuration template;
• transmitting cloud network configuration instructions including the order ID to cause a software defined network controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a cloud network configuration template from the cloud services archive file and to configure layer 1 through layer 3 virtual network functions and to set up routes between the cloud resources as specified by the cloud network configuration template;
• and
• transmitting deployment orchestration instructions including the order ID to cause an application controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a deployment orchestration plan from the cloud services archive file and to configure layer 4 through layer 7 application components as specified by the deployment orchestration plan and to start the application components.

A computer-readable storage device having stored thereon computer readable instructions for deploying a virtualized service in a cloud infrastructure, wherein execution of the computer readable instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving from a service design and composition tool, a cloud services archive file describing topology and network requirements of the virtualized service;
• storing the services archive file in an order repository data store with an order ID associating the services archive file with the virtualized service;
• transmitting cloud resource configuration instructions including the order ID to cause a cloud platform orchestrator to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a cloud resource configuration template from the cloud services archive file and to create cloud resources at appropriate data centers as specified by the cloud resource configuration template;
• transmitting cloud network configuration instructions including the order ID to cause a software defined network controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a cloud network configuration template from the cloud services archive file and to configure layer 1 through layer 3 virtual network functions and to set up routes between the cloud resources as specified by the cloud network configuration template;
• and
• transmitting deployment orchestration instructions including the order ID to cause an application controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file from the order repository data store using the order ID, to extract a deployment orchestration plan from the cloud services archive file and to configure layer 4 through layer 7 application components as specified by the deployment orchestration plan and to start the application components.
