Network Platform as a Service Layer for Open Systems Interconnection Communication Model Layer 4 Through Layer 7 Services

摘要

According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a hardware resource and a Network Platform as a Service (“NPaaS”) layer. The NPaaS layer can expose a cloud service for use by a service that operates within at least one of layer 4 through layer 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model. The cloud service can include a database service, an application container service, a resource broker service, a load balancer service, a domain name system (“DNS”) service, a state persistence service, a probe service, or a combination thereof. The NPaaS also can receive a request for the cloud service, and in response to the request, can provide the cloud service.

1. A cloud computing system comprising:
a compute resource; and a memory resource comprising instructions that, when executed by the compute resource, cause the compute resource to perform operations comprising:
exposing a set of cloud services for use by a service provider to provide a telecommunications service,receiving, from the service provider, a request for a cloud service of the set of cloud services, andin response to the request, providing the cloud service of the set of cloud services to the service provider to provide, at least in part, the telecommunications service.
