With the rapid development of cloud computing and Internet technology, user service demands show a diversified development trend, and cloud-network convergence has become an important choice for the development of the current information and communication industry.At present, cloud-network convergence only achieves simple cloud-network interconnection, which can not overcome the heavy problems of diversified service demands and massive heterogeneous resource supply.Therefore, promoting cloud-network convergence still requires strengthening the on-demand delivery capability of cloud services.Intent-driven network, as a new networking paradigm, becomes a viable option to solve this dilemma.The research status of cloud-network convergence was sorted out, and the research necessity of intention-driven cloud-network convergence business on-demand orchestration was summarized.Furthermore, the intent-driven cloud-network convergence architecture and its key technologies were proposed and analyzed, and on this basis, an on-demand orchestration model of cloud business was proposed.Finally, in the hybrid cloud interconnection and industrial Internet scenarios, the intent-driven on-demand orchestration model of cloud business was analyzed, and the future prospects were introduced.
