APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING INTRA-CLOUD AND INTER-CLOUD EXPANSION OF SERVICE

摘要

An apparatus and method for supporting the expansion of cloud service are disclosed. The apparatus for supporting expansion of cloud service includes a service expansion management unit, and a service image management unit. The service expansion management unit requests the running of a service registered in a source cloud, and determines whether the expansion of service is required by monitoring the running service. The service image management unit acquires the one or more service images of the service whose expansion is determined to be required by the service expansion management unit from a service image database (DB), and registers the service images in a target cloud.
