Publication number: 20230198857Abstract: A model-driven system automatically deploys a virtualized service, including multiple service components, on a distributed cloud infrastructure. A master service orchestrator causes a cloud platform orchestrator to retrieve a cloud services archive file, extract a cloud resource configuration template and create cloud resources at appropriate data centers as specified. The master service orchestrator also causes a software defined network controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file, to extract a cloud network configuration template and to configure layer 1 through layer 3 virtual network functions and to set up routes between them. Additionally, the master service orchestrator causes an application controller to retrieve the cloud services archive file, to extract a deployment orchestration plan and to configure and start layer 4 through layer 7 application components and bring them to a state of operational readiness.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Syed Anwar Aftab, Rittwik Jana, John F.

Patent number: 11615425Abstract: A cloud services composition system allows customers to interactively create service constructs from network function virtualization resources. The network function virtualization primitives are modeled using a standard modeling language. An expert system suggests network function virtualization resources for use in the service construct, based on an expert system learning algorithm. The customer uses a graphical user interface to interconnect the resources and create the service construct. The process may involve collaboration with the network provider. The resulting construct is validated for use in a communications network.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Rittwik Jana, Thomas Kirk, Syed Anwar Aftab, John F.
