Abstract
A system and method provisions IPv4 and IPv6 Internet service and load balancer service. An Internet service and load balancer service provisioning module provisions or activates IPv4 or IPv6 Internet service and load balancer service of a VPC environment. A service chain provisioning management unit manages a lifecycle of activating or terminating of the Internet service and load balancer service, and records orders and provisioning processes of a plurality of service nodes. A network resource enablement and setting unit communicates with the service nodes to activate and set each of the service nodes. A network resource management and allocating unit establishes IP resource pools based on different usages of an IPv4 subnet and an IPv6 subnet, and selects the IP resource pools based on usages to obtain a usable IP address. An IPv4 and IPv6 subnets IP resource pools management module manages the IP resource pools.
