Abstract
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.
