Abstract
A control apparatus comprises first to third parts. The first part manages an image, which is information required for execution of a container. The second part requests the third part to start a container corresponding to an image of a predetermined version. The third part instructs the container corresponding to the image of the predetermined version to be created in response to the request from the second part on the basis of the image managed by the first part.
Claims10
A control apparatus, comprising:
- a first part for managing an image, which is information required for execution of a container;
- a second part for requesting a container corresponding to an image of a predetermined version to be started;
- and
- a third part for instructing the container corresponding to the image of the predetermined version to be created in response to the request from the second part on the basis of the image managed by the first part.
A container starting method for a communication system including:
- an NFVO (NFV-Orchestrator) that realizes a network service in a virtualized environment;
- a VIM (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager) that manages and controls the resources of a virtual function instance;
- and
- a repository that manages an image, which is information required for execution of a container, the container starting method, comprising:
- having the NFVO request the VIM to start a container corresponding to an image of a predetermined version;
- and
- having the VIM instruct the container corresponding to the image of the predetermined version to be created in response to the request from the NFVO on the basis of the image managed by the repository.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program executed by a computer installed in a control apparatus including:
- an NFVO (NFV-Orchestrator) that realizes a network service in a virtualized environment;
- a VIM (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager) that manages and controls the resources of a virtual function instance;
- and
- a repository that manages an image, which is information required for execution of a container, the program executing:
- a process of having the NFVO request the VIM to start a container corresponding to the image of a predetermined version;
- and
- a process of having the VIM instruct the container corresponding to an image of the predetermined version to be created in response to the request from the NFVO on the basis of the image managed by the repository.
