发明名称 Methods and apparatus to allocate resources associated with a distributive computing network
摘要 Methods and apparatus to allocate resources associated with a distributive computing network are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving resource allocation information associated with a service that is to be hosted by a distributive computing network, determining a first configuration type and a second configuration type specified within the received resource allocation information, determining at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type and at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, determining physical resources included within the distributive computing network to host the service, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the first configuration type, electronically allocating the physical resources for the at least one configuration group associated with the second configuration type, and hosting the service within the physical resources in accordance with the allocations.

主权项 1. A method to allocate resources associated with a distributive computing network, the method comprising: forming, by a processor, a first geographic configuration group based on a first geographic location specified in resource allocation information and forming a second geographic configuration group based on a second geographic location specified in the resource allocation information, the resource allocation information associated with a service to be hosted by the distributive computing network; allocating, by the processor, first physical resources to a first resource configuration group and allocating second physical resources to a second resource configuration group, the first and second resource configuration groups being hierarchical sub-groups of a service configuration group that spans across the first and second geographic configuration groups, the service configuration group being a hierarchical sub-group of both of the first and second geographic configuration groups, the first resource configuration group to be used in connection with the first geographic configuration group exclusive of the second geographic configuration group, and the second resource configuration group to be used in connection with the second geographic configuration group exclusive of the first geographic configuration group; maintaining, by the processor, service records identifying the first physical resources corresponding to the first resource configuration ground and identifying the second physical resources corresponding to the second resource configuration group; generating, by the processor, a group topology defining associations between the first resource configuration group, the second resource configuration group, the service configuration group, the first geographic configuration group, and the second geographic configuration group; hosting, by the processor, the service using the first and second physical resources in accordance with allocation of the first and second physical resources; and routing, by the processor, a request to access the service to the distributive computing network to: allow access to the first physical resources of the first resource configuration group exclusive of the second physical resources of the second resource configuration group when the request specifies the first geographic configuration group, orallow access to the first and the second physical resources when the request specifies the service configuration group.
