DEGRADATION PLANNING AND MITIGATION IN HYBRID CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17542623 titled 'DEGRADATION PLANNING AND MITIGATION IN HYBRID CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer program product that constructs an interaction graph based on a distributed application of a cloud platform. It then extracts sub-graphs from the interaction graph using feasibility validation tests and estimates a resource pressure metric for each sub-graph. A degradation plan is constructed for the least-cost sub-graph based on the estimated resource pressure metric and applied to the distributed application and the cloud platform.

  • The program constructs an interaction graph based on a distributed application of a cloud platform.
  • Sub-graphs are extracted from the interaction graph using feasibility validation tests.
  • A resource pressure metric is estimated for each sub-graph, indicating the resource pressure on each service and its dependent services.
  • A degradation plan is created for the least-cost sub-graph based on the estimated resource pressure metric.
  • The degradation plan is applied to the distributed application and the cloud platform.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various areas where distributed applications are used, such as:

  • Cloud computing platforms
  • Internet of Things (IoT) systems
  • Big data analytics
  • Web services

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems:

  • Resource pressure management in distributed applications
  • Optimization of resource allocation in cloud platforms
  • Efficient degradation planning for least-cost sub-graphs
  • Improved performance and reliability of distributed applications

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved resource management and allocation in distributed applications
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of cloud platforms
  • Cost-effective degradation planning for optimal resource utilization
  • Increased efficiency and scalability of distributed applications


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to construct an interaction graph based in part on a distributed application of a cloud platform comprised of a plurality of services; extract one or more sub-graphs from the interaction graph by mining the interaction graph using one or more feasibility validation tests; estimate a resource pressure metric for the one or more sub-graphs, wherein the resource pressure metric is at least one of a prospective resource pressure metric and a retrospective resource pressure metric, the resource pressure metric being associated with each service on one or more respective dependent services; construct a degradation plan for a least-cost sub-graph in accordance with the estimated resource pressure metric; and apply the degradation plan to the distributed application and the cloud platform.
