Intent-driven cloud-network convergence on-demand orchestration by Lulu ZHANG, Chungang YANG, Dong WANG, Ying OUYANG, Tong LI, Junjie GUO, Ru DONG

“…With the rapid development of cloud computing and Internet technology, user service demands show a diversified development trend, and cloud-network convergence has become an important choice for the development of the current information and communication industry.At present, cloud-network convergence only achieves simple cloud-network interconnection, which can not overcome the heavy problems of diversified service demands and massive heterogeneous resource supply.Therefore, promoting cloud-network convergence still requires strengthening the on-demand delivery capability of cloud services.Intent-driven network, as a new networking paradigm, becomes a viable option to solve this dilemma.The research status of cloud-network convergence was sorted out, and the research necessity of intention-driven cloud-network convergence business on-demand orchestration was summarized.Furthermore, the intent-driven cloud-network convergence architecture and its key technologies were proposed and analyzed, and on this basis, an on-demand orchestration model of cloud business was proposed.Finally, in the hybrid cloud interconnection and industrial Internet scenarios, the intent-driven on-demand orchestration model of cloud business was analyzed, and the future prospects were introduced.…”
