Abstract

Disclosed are methods and apparatus that allow users and organizations to access on-demand and in a personalized way to the performance and optionally flow activity measures of an end to end network of virtual resources. The system is configured to generate a UI that provides a mapping and characterization of the network of virtual resources. In one embodiment, a network topology map can be generated in the UI. In another embodiment, a flow map including nodes and flows can be generated in the UI. The UI is configured to provide users with a number of actions that can be implemented to affect the virtual resources. The actions can be presented in the user via menu options or actionable objects. The user can implement high-level actions provided by the UI. Upon receipt of a high-level action, the system is configured to translate the action into a sequence of low-level device commands needed to implement the action. The system can communicate with the low-level devices in the cloud to implement the commands.
