Abstract
In one implementation, a method for topology based management of second day operations can include identifying a cloud service operating on a second system, discovering, via a first system, an existing realized topology of the second system as an inferred realized topology for the first system, wherein the existing realized topology is provisioned by the second system, defining a management process to be performed within the cloud service, via the first system, upon the instantiation of the inferred realized topology by the first system, and executing the management process utilizing the first system.
Claims18
A method for topology based management of second day operations, comprising:
- identifying a cloud service deployed or managed by a second system;
- discovering, via a first system, an existing realized topology managed by the second system as an inferred realized topology for the first system, wherein the existing realized topology is provisioned or changed/managed by the second system;
- defining a management process or life cycle management actions to be performed within the cloud service, via the first system, upon the instantiation or at a later time on the inferred realized topology by the first system;
- and
- executing the management process on the realized topology utilizing the first system.
A system for facilitating topology based management of second day operations, comprising:
- a platform to develop, execute, and support cloud service management, the platform comprising:
- a discovery engine to discover an existing realized topology of cloud services that have not been provisioned or managed by the platform as an inferred realized topology for the platform;
- a content repository to store the inferred realized topologies of discovered cloud services;
- a user interface to edit the inferred realized topologies utilizing LCMAs and policy guidance;
- and
- a number of management processes to be executed or performed on the discovered inferred realized topology to update the realized topology.
A computer program product for facilitating topology based management of second day operations, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, discover an existing realized topology of cloud services that have not been provisioned or managed by the platform as an inferred realized topology for the platform;
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, store the inferred realized topologies of discovered services;
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, edit the inferred realized topologies utilizing LCMAs and policy guidance;
- and
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, establish management processes to be processed on the discovered inferred realized topology.
