METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILIZING VIRTUAL MACHINE INSTANCE INFORMATION FROM A DATABASE FOR SOFTWARE DEFINED CLOUD RECOVERY

摘要

Method and Apparatus for rapid scalable unified infrastructure system management platform are disclosed by discovery of compute nodes, network components across data centers, both public and private for a user; assessment of type, capability, VLAN, security, virtualization configuration of the discovered unified infrastructure nodes and components; configuration of nodes and components covering add, delete, modify, scale; and rapid roll out of nodes and components across data centers both public and private.

1. A method, comprising:
managing workflow process instances; taking periodic virtual machine instance snapshots including virtual machine instance state information; storing virtual machine instance snapshots in software defined cloud data store; policy that dictates virtual machine instance restoration from software defined cloud storage if current instance is disturbed; and self initiated restore of virtual machine instance from virtual machine instance snapshot storage when necessitated by restoration condition.
