Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for data resiliency in an edge network environment. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute and/or instantiate the instructions to generate spectrum metadata based on spectrum data, determine a resiliency operation based on one or more resiliency requirements, generate a resiliency policy based on at least one of the resiliency operation or the one or more resiliency requirements, generate a resiliency operation map based on at least one of the resiliency policy or first identifiers of respective workloads associated with the network environment, the first identifiers including a second identifier, and, in response to identifying a FAFO event associated with the second identifier, execute the resiliency operation based on mapping the second identifier to the resiliency operation in the resiliency operation map.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one memory;
instructions; and
at least one processor circuit to at least one of execute or instantiate the instructions to:
generate spectrum metadata based on spectrum data associated with a network environment, the spectrum data having first data of a first data abstraction and second data of a second data abstraction, the spectrum metadata based on the first data abstraction and the second data abstraction, the first data abstraction corresponds to data for a first operation, and the second data abstraction corresponds to data for a second operation;
generate a resiliency policy based on a resiliency requirement, the resiliency policy representative of at least one of recovering or reconstructing the spectrum data based on a fault-attack-failure-outage (FAFO) event associated with the spectrum data;
generate a resiliency operation map based on the resiliency policy and a workload associated with the network environment, the resiliency operation map representative of an association of the first data abstraction to a first resiliency operation of the resiliency policy and an association of the second data abstraction to a second resiliency
after identifying the FAFO event associated with the workload, execute the first resiliency operation based on the association of the first data of the first data abstraction in the resiliency operation map.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the spectrum metadata is first spectrum metadata, and the one or more of the at least one processor circuit is to:
extract second spectrum metadata from network traffic associated with the workload, the second spectrum metadata based on third data of a third data abstraction;
generate a third resiliency operation of the resiliency policy associated with the workload based on the third data of the second spectrum metadata;
and
map the third data abstraction to the third resiliency operation in the resiliency operation map.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the one or more of the at least one processor circuit is to:
after identifying the second resiliency operation as a data recovery operation, execute the data recovery operation to recover the second data of the spectrum data associated with the workload from one or more datastores; or
