Microservices coordinator for advanced networks

Abstract

A microservices coordinator function can be utilized to apply dynamic policy changes for microservices. For example, based on outlined service provider policies, user equipment state data, and/or network state data, the microservices coordinator function can determine which microservices to use and/or what order to use the microservices to increase a performance of the network. The microservices coordinator can perform conflict resolution based on how network traffic should be treated in certain scenarios.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 facilitating, by network equipment comprising a processor, receiving policy data representative of a policy associated with a network;   as a function of the policy data and state data representative of a state of a user equipment, generating, by the network equipment, a trigger condition to trigger functionality associated with a microservice, wherein the trigger condition is a function of a term of a service level agreement to be applied to the user equipment; and   subsequent to generating the trigger condition, determining, by the network equipment, that the trigger condition has been satisfied.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition is a function of a type of service to be applied to the user equipment. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 in response to determining that the trigger condition has been satisfied, establishing, by the network equipment, a priority associated with a type of the service. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in response to the microservice being determined to haven been distributed, facilitating, by the network equipment, receiving feedback data representative of an efficacy of the microservice according to a defined efficacy criterion.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the trigger condition is a function of a location of the user equipment in relation to the network equipment. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in response to the trigger condition being determined to have been satisfied, applying, by the network equipment, the microservice to the user equipment to facilitate a uniform distribution of the microservice.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 facilitating, by the network equipment, receiving, from the user equipment, the state data representative of the state of the user equipment.   
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 receiving, from network equipment, policy data representative of a policy; 
 based on the policy data and state data representative of a state of a user equipment, generating a trigger condition to trigger an action associated with applying a microservice to the user equipment, wherein the trigger condition is a function of a service level agreement to be applied to the user equipment; and 
 in response to generating the trigger condition, determining that the trigger condition has been satisfied. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to determining that the trigger condition has been satisfied, determining a sequence for the microservice to be applied to the user equipment.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving load data representative of a load associated with the network.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 performing the applying of the microservice to the user equipment to reduce the load associated with the network.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to receiving the policy data, modifying the action associated with distributing the microservice, resulting in a modified action.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving performance data representative of a performance of a modified action associated with distributing the microservice.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving the state data representative of the state of the user equipment from the user equipment.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 receiving policy data representative of a service level agreement associated with a network and applicable to a mobile device;   based on the policy data, the service level agreement, and state data representative of a current state of the mobile device, generating threshold data representative of a threshold associated with a distribution of a microservice;   in response to generating the threshold data, determining that the threshold has been satisfied; and   in response to determining that the threshold has been satisfied, distributing the microservice to the mobile device.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is a first mobile device, and wherein the operations further comprise:
 based on a location of the first mobile device, distributing the microservice to a second mobile device.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving feedback data representative of an efficacy of a distributed microservice according to a defined criterion.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is a first mobile device, and wherein the operations further comprise:
