摘要： A native restart controller restarts services in a controlled manner. The services run in a cloud computing environment comprising a plurality of computing devices executing a plurality of Kubernetes pods comprising one or more containers. An indication is received of a deployment defining a service to be implemented in the cloud computing environment, the deployment including a desired number of instances of the service. An API is instantiated that is operable to provide a first state indicative of whether restarts are to be controlled by the restart controller and a second state indicating that a restart is required. In response to receiving an indication that restarts for the cluster are to be controlled by the restart controller and that a restart is required, the instances are restarted in a sequence in accordance with restart criteria associated with the service.

摘要： Techniques are described for upgrading a virtualized network function (VNF) implemented in a virtualized computing environment configured in a user-specific configuration. The virtualized network function is implemented by a plurality of VNF components (VNFCs) executing in a plurality of virtual machines managed by a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM). An upgrade component is configured to execute as a virtual resource and execute a series of operations that coordinate an upgrade of the VNFCs implementing the VNF and interact with the VIM and the virtual machines to effect the upgrade. A configuration file pertaining to a new software version defining the upgrade and a set of upgrade instructions. Based on the configuration file, the upgrade instructions are translated to a series of operations on the virtual machines and interactions with the VIM to effect the upgrade.
