Abstract

Image data of a node with which an orchestration module is associated is received. The node is an electronic device and the image data of the node is received in a language associated with the node. The image data of the node with which the orchestration module is associated is translated into a meta-language associated with an orchestrator network comprising the orchestration module and one or more other orchestration modules associated one or more corresponding nodes. A scope of information to provide from the orchestration module to the one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes is determined. The determined information is communicated to the one or more other orchestration modules in the meta-language understood by the orchestration module and the one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed, cause the processor to;

receive image data of a node with which the system is associated, wherein the node is an electronic device, wherein the image data of the node is received in a language associated with the node;

translate the image data of the node with which the system is associated into a meta-language associated with an orchestrator network comprising an orchestration module hosted on the system and one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes;

determine a scope of information to provide from the orchestration module to the one or more other orchestration modules associated with one or more corresponding nodes; and

communicate the determined information to the one or more orchestration modules in the meta-language understood by the orchestration module and the one or more other orchestration modules.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system further comprises a conductor in communication with the orchestration module and the one or more other orchestration modules, wherein the conductor is configured to generate the orchestration module and deploy the orchestration module to the node with which the system is associated.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the image data of the node with which the system is associated includes behavioral data of the node with which the system is associated.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the orchestration module is further configured to apply a histogram behavioral analysis algorithm to the behavioral data of the node with which the system is associated to determine a normal behavior of the node with which the system is associated, wherein the orchestration module is configured to determine the normal behavior either by itself or in conjunction with the one or more other orchestration modules.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the orchestration module includes a local behavior analytic engine that is configured to analyze the behavioral data of the node with which the system is associated.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the orchestration module includes a collector configured to capture the behavioral data of the node with which the system is associated.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the determined amount of information includes information indicating that the node with which the system is associated has been compromised.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the orchestration module is configured to receive from one of the one or more other orchestration modules a message indicating a remediation for the node with which the system is associated.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the orchestration module is configured to cause the node with which the system is associated to implement the remediation.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the orchestration module is configured to cause the node with which the system is associated to implement the remediation based on the image data of the node.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the image data of the node with which the system is associated comprises one or more objectives associated with the node, one or more constraints associated with the node, one or more algorithms associated with the node, one or more capabilities associated with the node, one or more configurations associated with the node, and an environment associated with the node.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the orchestration module is configured to communicate the determined information to the one or more other orchestration modules via the network that is specific to the orchestration module and the one or more other orchestration modules.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the node with which the system is associated is a network element.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the node with which the system is associated is a base station or access point.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the node with which the system is associated is an application, and wherein the orchestration module and the associated application are located in a first cloud data center.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the orchestration module and its associated application are configured to move from the first cloud data center to a second cloud data center.
