Virtual Network Management

摘要

A network management system manages a virtual network includes an interface system communicatively coupled to one or more servers, a director engine, and a configuration engine. The one or more servers implement a virtual network including one or more virtual machines and one or more containers organized into one or more virtual domains. The interface system generates a graphical user interface displaying graphical representations of the one or more virtual machines and the one or more containers and of the one or more servers; and information associated with the virtual network. The director engine receives a user selection of at least one server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain, accesses information associated with the user selection, and identifies one or more of servers, virtual machines, containers, and virtual domains associated with the user selection.

1. A network management system for managing a virtual network, comprising:
an interface system communicatively coupled to one or more servers, the one or more servers implementing a virtual network including one or more virtual machines and one or more containers organized into one or more virtual domains, the interface system configured to generate a graphical user interface displaying graphical representations of the one or more virtual machines and the one or more containers in a first portion of the graphical user interface, displaying graphical representations of the one or more servers in a second portion of the graphical user interface, and displaying information associated with the virtual network in a third portion of the graphical user interface; a director engine configured to:
receive, from a user of the network management system, a selection of at least one server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain;query instrumentation data stored by the one or more servers to access information associated with the selected at least one server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain;query the one or more servers to identify one or more of servers, virtual machines, containers, and virtual domains associated with the selected at least one server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain;modify the first portion of the graphical user interface and the second portion of the graphical user interface to highlight the selected at least one server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain, and to highlight the identified one or more servers, virtual machines, containers, and virtual domains associated with the selected server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain; andmodify the third portion of the graphical user interface to display the accessed information associated with the selected server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain; and a configuration engine configured to, in response to a request from the user of the network management system, re-configure the selected server, virtual machine, container, or virtual domain.
