Publication number: 20240012669Abstract: Consistency in data that are replicated across a group of management appliances is preserved even when one of the management appliances is reverted to a snapshot thereof. A method of preserving consistence in such data includes: detecting that a first management appliance in the group has reverted to a snapshot thereof; and in response to such detecting, updating a desired state document for the group to remove data items in the desired state document that have been designated as local to the first management appliance, and instructing each of the management appliances in the group to apply the desired state document.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: KUNDAN SINHA, SYED ANWAR, KIRAN RAMAKRISHNA, SHALINI KRISHNA, KEENAN WESTON MATHENY

Publication number: 20240012631Abstract: Inventory data of software-defined data centers (SDDCs) are replicated across a group of management appliances of the SDDCs according to a desired state of the inventory data. The method of replication includes the steps of: comparing a timestamp of a first change item, which contains a change to a first item of the desired state, against a timestamp of the first item of the desired state; determining that the timestamp of the first change item has a time value that is after a time value of the timestamp of the first item; updating the first item of the desired state by applying the change to the first item included in the first change item; and issuing an instruction to one or more of the management appliances in the group to apply the desired state with the updated first item.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: SYED ANWAR, Kundan Sinha, Shalini Krishna, Kiran Ramakrishna

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.
