Instantiating an application flow into a chain of services in a virtual data center

摘要

In one embodiment, a method comprises creating a hierarchal chain of network services in response to instantiation within a data center of a virtualized application providing an application service, the chain having a corresponding hierarchal proxy endpoint identifier for each network service in the chain; registering the chain of network services as a logical path for reaching the application service within the data center; and routing, within the data center, a web-based service request for the application service to the chain of network services for execution by the virtualized application.

1. A method comprising:
creating a hierarchal chain of network services in response to instantiation within a data center of a virtualized application providing an application service, the creating and the instantiation separate and independent from any access to the virtualized application, the chain initiated by the virtualized application in response to instantiation thereof providing reachability to the application service and without provisioning to reach the virtualized application, the chain comprising a contiguous sequence of logical hops generated from the virtualized application to a routing service executed within the data center, the chain identifying each logical hop with a corresponding hierarchal proxy endpoint identifier for the corresponding network service in the chain; registering the chain of network services as a logical path within the data center for reaching the application service; and routing, within the data center, a web-based service request for the application service to the chain of network services for execution by the virtualized application.
