SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEPLOYING CLOUD BASED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT AGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS
A system and method for deploying a cloud-agnostic appliance. The method includes generating an image file of a virtual appliance, wherein the image file includes a primary operating system (OS), a boot OS, and an application; deploying the image file in a cloud based computing environment (CBCE); sending the boot OS configuration instructions for configuring the virtual appliance to operate in the CBCE; and configuring the virtual appliance to reboot from the primary OS.
1 . A method for deploying a cloud-agnostic appliance, comprising:
generating an image file of a virtual appliance, wherein the image file includes a primary operating system (OS), a boot OS, and an application;
deploying the image file in a cloud based computing environment (CBCE);
sending the boot OS configuration instructions for configuring the virtual appliance to operate in the CBCE; and
configuring the virtual appliance to reboot from the primary OS.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the boot OS configuration instructions includes configuring to operate in the CBCE at least one of: the primary OS and the application.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the image file further comprises at least one of: a binary file and a library file.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein sending the boot OS configuration instructions further comprises:
identifying aspects of the primary OS, the binary files, and the library files that are necessary to successfully execute the application in the CBCE.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein multiple virtual appliances are deployed within the CBCE.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the multiple virtual appliances are executed on a single hardware device.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the application includes at least one of: a firewall, a web server, a database server, a cache server, a network architecture management service, a load balancing service, an auto-scaling service, a content delivery network (CDN) service, a network addresses allocation service, a database service, and a domain name system (DNS) service.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining resources use and access when the virtual appliance is being executed.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the determined resource use is sent to a virtualization object, and wherein the virtualization object is configured to execute the virtual appliance.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform a process, the process comprising:
generating an image file of a virtual appliance, wherein the image file includes a primary operating system (OS), a boot OS, and an application;
deploying the image file in a cloud based computing environment (CBCE);
sending the boot OS configuration instructions for configuring the virtual appliance to operate in the CBCE; and
configuring the virtual appliance to reboot from the primary OS.
11 . A system for deploying a cloud-agnostic appliance, comprising:
a processing circuitry; and
a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
generate an image file of a virtual appliance, wherein the image file includes a primary operating system (OS), a boot OS, and an application;
deploy the image file in a cloud based computing environment (CBCE);
send the boot OS configuration instructions for configuring the virtual appliance to operate in the CBCE; and
configure the virtual appliance to reboot from the primary OS.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein sending the boot OS configuration instructions includes configuring to operate in the CBCE at least one of: the primary OS and the application.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the image file further comprises at least one of: a binary file and a library file.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein sending the boot OS configuration instructions further comprises:
identify aspects of the primary OS, the binary files, and the library files that are necessary to successfully execute the application in the CBCE.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein multiple virtual appliances are deployed within the CBCE.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the multiple virtual appliances are executed on a single hardware device.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the application includes at least one of: a firewall, a web server, a database server, a cache server, a network architecture management service, a load balancing service, an auto-scaling service, a content delivery network (CDN) service, a network addresses allocation service, a database service, and a domain name system (DNS) service.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:
determine resources use and access when the virtual appliance is being executed.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the determined resource use is sent to a virtualization object, and wherein the virtualization object is configured to execute the virtual appliance.
