Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to provide cloud resource orchestration are disclosed. An example method includes converting, with a processor, a plurality of constraints and a goal for a cloud deployment into a constraint optimization problem, calculating, with the processor, a solution for the constraint optimization problem, and generating instructions to perform cloud resource orchestration for the cloud deployment based on the solution of the constraint optimization problem.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to provide cloud resource orchestration

An aspect of the disclosed technology is a general-purpose platform that may be used to provide resilient cloud services. Tasks may be written as procedures in general-purpose programming languages that directly manipulate resources via control interfaces. In one implementation, resource states, such as router configurations and virtual machine states, associated with a cloud customer that provides communications services, may be abstracted into tables in a relational or semi-structured database. State changes that have been written to the database tables are automatically propagated by the database to appropriate customer physical devices, such as network elements, thereby implementing various customer network operations.
