AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICE REQUESTS IN A MULTI-CLUSTER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17549940 titled 'AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICE REQUESTS IN A MULTI-CLUSTER SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing dependencies in a multi-cluster system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving a dependency chain matrix from each service end point in a multi-cluster system.
  • These dependency chain matrices are then converged into a single data matrix.
  • The converged data matrix is shared as a side car module to each service end point.
  • When a service request is received, the authorization for the request is validated based on the converged data matrix.
  • A label is generated and appended to the service request, which is then passed downstream to the service end points.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in large-scale distributed systems where multiple clusters of services need to communicate and coordinate with each other.
  • It can be applied in cloud computing environments to manage dependencies between different services or microservices.
  • This technology can be useful in complex software systems where there are multiple layers of dependencies between different components.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of managing dependencies in a multi-cluster system by providing a centralized approach to handle and validate service requests.
  • It helps in ensuring that the authorization for a service request is properly validated based on the converged data matrix, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • By converging the dependency chain matrices into a single data matrix, it simplifies the management and coordination of services in a multi-cluster system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves the efficiency and reliability of service requests by validating the authorization based on a converged data matrix.
  • It provides a centralized approach to manage dependencies, reducing the complexity and potential errors in coordinating services in a multi-cluster system.
  • By sharing the converged data matrix as a side car module, it enables faster and more efficient communication between service end points.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes receiving a dependency chain matrix from each of a plurality of service end points in a multi-cluster system converging the received dependency chain matrices into a converged data matrix, sharing the converged data matrix as a side car module to each of the plurality of service end points, receiving a service request by an external user or service for at least one of the plurality of service end points, validating an authorization for the service request based on the converged data matrix, and generating a label that is appended to the service request and passed downstream to the plurality of service end points.
