Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to connectivity management in a heterogeneous network and provide a method, system and computer program product for resilient and reliable end-to-end connectivity in a heterogeneous network. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for resilient and reliable end-to-end connectivity in a heterogeneous network environment can be provided. The method can include creating an instance of an abstracted network resource model (NRM) for a heterogeneous network environment of different network resource nodes. The method further can include binding an application endpoint in the instance of the abstracted NRM with a connectivity endpoint for a first of the different network resource nodes. The method yet further can include detecting an outage in the first of the different network resource nodes. Finally, the method can include re-binding the application endpoint to a second of the different network resource nodes in response to detecting the outage.
