Abstract:

A method implemented in a network element (NE) configured to operate as a REST server, the method comprising receiving, through a receiver, a constraint from a REST client, wherein the constraint relates an independent control variable to a derived control variable, wherein the derived control variable is mapped to a first cloud computing resource employed by a cloud computing implementation; receiving, through the receiver, an independent value for the independent control variable from the REST client; computing, via a processor coupled to the receiver, a derived value for the derived control variable based on the constraint and the value for the independent control variable; determining, via a processor, a first instruction regarding the first cloud computing resource based on the derived value; and altering, via a resource controller coupled to the processor, one of a plurality of first behaviors of the first cloud computing resource based on the first instruction.
