MULTI-CLOUD, MULTI-SERVICE DATA MODEL

摘要

In some examples, a network data center comprises a cloud-based services exchange point comprising a network, the cloud-based services exchange point operated by a cloud exchange provider that operates the network data center; and a programmable network platform to receive a service request that includes a service definition according to a data model, wherein the service definition specifies a plurality of cloud services provided by respective cloud service provider networks operated by respective cloud service providers, wherein the service request further specifies a topology for the plurality of cloud services, and wherein the service definition specifies each of the plurality of cloud services according to a common micro-service definition; and provision, responsive to the service request, the cloud-based services exchange point to forward service traffic for the plurality of cloud services according to the topology for the plurality of cloud services.
