Abstract

A method of launching a controller unit in an Multi-Cloud Service Fabric includes launching a value added service (VAS) unit, launching a profiler, and sending tier event to the VAS unit with tier information.

Claims

1. A method of launching a controller unit in an Multi-Cloud Service Fabric comprising:

launching a controller;

launching a value added service (VAS) unit;

launching a profiler; and

sending tier event to the VAS unit with tier information.

2. The method of claim 1, further including determining whether or not the tier has one or more SLA in a profile and if so, checking for an existing process for each of the SLAs in the profile.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein upon the checking yielding a positive result, receiving tier information and launching a separate thread for each of the one or more SLAs in the tier.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein upon determining the tier has one or more SLA profiles, generating a dashboard and displaying on the generated dashboard, statistics about the tier.

5. An Multi-Cloud Service Fabric comprising:

a controller responsive to one or more applications;

a value-added service (VAS) unit in communication with the controller, the controller operative to provide data relating to the one or more applications and resources to the VAS unit, the resources being a part of at least one cloud, VAS unit, using the data, operative to generate analytics and logging information to the controller,

wherein the controller automatically, dynamically, and in real-time, configures the resources based on the generated analytics and logging information.

6. The Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, as recited in claim 5, wherein the one or more applications are virtual or physical.

7. The Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, as recited in claim 5, further including a fabric including the VAS unit, the fabric further including L4 through L7 devices.

8. The Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, as recited in claim 7, wherein the L4 through L7 devices are gateways, servers, or applications.

9. The Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, as recited in claim 7, wherein the L4 through L7 devices are physical devices or virtual devices.

10. The Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, as recited in claim 5, wherein the controller further including a flex cloud engine operable to configure multiple clouds.

11. A method of delivering an application by an Multi-Cloud Service Fabric, the method comprising:

receiving at least one application;

determining resources of one or more clouds; and

automatically and dynamically delivering the at least one application to the one or more clouds based on the determined resources.

12. The method of delivering, as recited in claim 11, further including displaying analytics relating to the resources.

13. The method of delivering, as recited in claim 11, further including substantially optimizing delivering of the at least one application using the analytics.
