SYSTEM AND METHOD OF VERIFYING PROVISIONED VIRTUAL SERVICES

摘要

This disclosure relates to various systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms, or apparatuses for verifying or auditing that virtual services are correctly instantiated at a data center. Verification that virtual services are correctly instantiated at a data center may include comparing normalized datasets representing the actual instantiated services associated with a virtual services provisioning entity to normalized datasets representing the expected instantiated services associated with the provisioning entity. Verification that virtual services are correctly instantiated at a data center may include monitoring one or more communication channels of a virtual services control entity to identify a provisioning command intended for the provisioning entity, determining whether the identified provisioning command intended for the provisioning entity has been received by the provisioning entity, and generating an alert based on a determination that the identified provisioning command intended for the provisioning entity has not been received by the provisioning entity.

1. A method of verifying instantiated services associated with a data center, comprising:
comparing, by a network element associated with the data center, an applied instantiated services dataset associated with a provisioning entity to an expected instantiated services dataset associated with the provisioning entity to identify any differences therebetween; and storing, in a non-transient memory at the network element, data representing identified differences between the datasets associated with the provisioning entity; wherein said applied instantiated services dataset comprises a portion of a provisioning entity database processed in accordance with a predefined normalizing format; and wherein said expected instantiated services dataset comprises a corresponding portion of a management database processed in accordance with the predefined normalizing format.
