Provision a virtual environment based on topology of virtual nodes, node dependencies and base node configuration information

摘要

A method for automatically provisioning a virtual computing environment comprising a plurality of virtual computing nodes includes provisioning a virtual base node using base configuration information that includes a base endpoint that identifies interconnectivity parameters required to communicate with the virtual base node, and storing the base endpoint in an endpoint registry. The method further includes determining that a virtual first node depends on the virtual base node, and receiving the base endpoint from the endpoint registry. Thereafter, the virtual first node is provisioned using the received base endpoint and first configuration information for the virtual first node.

1. A method for automatically provisioning a virtual computing environment comprising a plurality of virtual computing nodes, the method comprising:
receiving, a virtual topology associated with at least one virtual environment, the virtual topology comprising a plurality of virtual nodes; analyzing the received virtual topology to identify dependencies between the plurality of nodes and at least one of a service and an application hosted by each virtual node; identifying a virtual base node from the virtual topology, the virtual base node being one of the plurality of virtual nodes; provisioning the identified virtual base node using base configuration information, wherein the base configuration information includes a base endpoint that identifies interconnectivity parameters required to communicate with the virtual base node; storing the base endpoint in an endpoint registry; determining, from the virtual topology, that a virtual first node depends on the virtual base node; retrieving the base endpoint from the endpoint registry based on the determination that the virtual first node depends on the virtual base node; provisioning the virtual first node using the retrieved base endpoint and first configuration information for the virtual first node, the first configuration information including a first endpoint; and storing a first endpoint in the endpoint registry.
