Abstract

A cluster visualization apparatus is disclosed. A cluster visualization apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a state detector configured to obtain state information of a cluster configured with a plurality of boxes, a display, and a controller configured to display a three-dimensional model image configured with a plurality of layers corresponding to a plurality of network layers and to display an image corresponding to each of the plurality of boxes over at least one layer of the plurality of layers, based on the state information.

Claims

1. A cluster visualization apparatus comprising:

a state detector configured to obtain state information of a cluster configured with a plurality of boxes;

a display; and

a controller configured to display a three-dimensional model image configured with a plurality of layers corresponding to a plurality of network layers and to display an image corresponding to each of the plurality of boxes over at least one layer of the plurality of layers, based on the state information.

2. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the image corresponding to each of the plurality of boxes passes through a layer corresponding to a network layer with which each of the plurality of boxes is associated.

3. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the plurality of boxes includes a physical box and a logical box, and

wherein the logical box includes at least one of a virtual machine and a container.

4. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the three-dimensional model image is a truncated cone.

5. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the image corresponding to each of the plurality of boxes is a three-dimensional image, and

wherein the area or diameter of the cross-section of the three-dimensional image corresponds to a size of a resource of each of the plurality of boxes.

6. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the controller displays information on a use of the plurality of boxes on the three-dimensional model image.

7. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the controller displays an image corresponding to a first layer of the plurality of layers,

wherein the first layer corresponds to a first network layer of the plurality of network layers,

wherein the image corresponding to the first layer includes at least one of a UI indicating one or more boxes associated with the first network layer, a use of the one or more boxes, network connection information of the one or more boxes, and information on a firewall of the first network layer and information on a connection point of the first network layer.

8. The cluster visualization apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the controller displays an image corresponding to a first layer of the plurality of layers and displays security levels of one or more boxes associated with a first network layer in a contour line on the image corresponding to the first layer, and

wherein the first layer corresponds to the first network layer of the plurality of network layers.

9. A method for operating a cluster visualization apparatus comprising:

obtaining state information of a cluster configured with a plurality of boxes;

displaying a three-dimensional model image configured with a plurality of layers corresponding to a plurality of network layers, based on the state information; and
