An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device having a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to implement a first ledger node of a first cloud having a first set of cloud resources. The first ledger node of the first cloud is configured to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of additional ledger nodes associated with respective additional clouds having respective additional sets of cloud resources, to monitor auditable information relating to cloud resources of the first cloud and cloud services provided by the first cloud, to associate the auditable information with one or more cloud service transactions, and to generate a cryptographic block characterizing the one or more cloud service transactions and the associated auditable information. The cryptographic block is entered into a blockchain distributed ledger collectively maintained by the first and additional ledger nodes.

Distributed ledger for multi-cloud service automation

At least one processing platform comprises virtualization infrastructure, an assurance module, an orchestration module, and an analytic engine coupled to the assurance module and the orchestration module. The assurance module is configured to monitor resources provided using the virtualization infrastructure under the control of the orchestration module. The analytic engine is configured to process monitoring results from the assurance module and to generate corresponding feedback to the orchestration module. The feedback to the orchestration module is utilized for at least one of adjusting one or more characteristics of the resources provided using the virtualization infrastructure, and performing one or more orchestration operations relating to the resources provided using the virtualization infrastructure. A topology module may be coupled to the analytic engine and configured to generate topology information relating to the resources. The topology information is utilized by the analytic engine in generating the feedback to the orchestration module.

Automated assurance analysis providing feedback to orchestration of resources in virtualization infrastructure

An apparatus comprises at least one processing platform implemented using at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The processing platform comprises virtualization infrastructure, an assurance layer and an analytic layer. The assurance and analytic layers are configured to provide data collection and event management functionality to support automation relating to resources of the virtualization infrastructure and associated workloads. By way of example, the assurance and analytic layers illustratively comprise respective deterministic and indeterministic functional groupings of components. The functional groupings of components of the assurance and analytic layers are utilized to implement closed-loop remediation workflows and other types of automation relating to the virtualization infrastructure resources and their associated workloads.

Architecture for data collection and event management supporting automation in service provider cloud environments

A method, system, and program, product for analyzing a computer network comprising one or more domains, each of the one or more domains comprising a plurality of nodes and one or more links, the method comprising calculating the health of the computer network, determining, based on the computer network health, if an infrastructure problem exists, identifying, based on the determination, a domain of the one or more domains of the computer network, further identifying, based on the identified domain, an infrastructure problem selected from the group comprising the plurality of nodes and the one or more links of the identified domain, determining an origin of the cause of the infrastructure problem based on the identified infrastructure problem.

Automated top-down multi-abstraction infrastructure performance analytics-network infrastructure-as-a-service

Methods and apparatus to provide event correlation based on causality equivalence. In one embodiment, a raw notification and a causality notification are generated for a raw event. The causality notification corresponds to a causality equivalence class in a plurality of causality equivalence classes.

Automated top-down multi-abstraction infrastructure performance analytics -network infrastructure-as-a-service perspective

A generic analysis model is applicable to a variety of network infrastructure domains, and operable for causal analysis in a common manner independently of the corresponding underlying domain. The generic analysis model may be employed to model root cause analysis and impact analysis for different resource management systems such as enterprise networks, storage area networks, service provider networks and business process management. Such a model improves performance and scalability by simplifying analysis model for a given solution, and decouples the development from topology building and analysis implementation.
