AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING WORKFLOWS ACROSS CLOUD SERVICES INVOLVING USER-CONTROLLED COMPONENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17869230 titled 'AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING WORKFLOWS ACROSS CLOUD SERVICES INVOLVING USER-CONTROLLED COMPONENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, apparatus, and storage media for automatically generating workflows across cloud services involving user-controlled components. The invention allows users to perform configuration operations on cloud services components, including those that are user-controlled. The system generates automation files containing workflows related to these configuration operations and stores them securely in a storage area accessible to the user. Feedback from the user's execution of the automation files is processed, and automated actions are performed based on this feedback.
- The invention automates the generation of workflows for configuration operations on user-controlled cloud services components.
- Automation files containing the workflows are securely stored in a storage area accessible to the user.
- Feedback from the user's execution of the automation files is processed.
- Automated actions are performed based on the feedback.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Streamlining configuration operations on cloud services components.
- Increasing efficiency and reducing manual effort in managing cloud services.
- Enabling users to easily automate repetitive tasks across multiple cloud services.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Manual configuration of cloud services components can be time-consuming and error-prone.
- Managing multiple cloud services and their components can be complex and challenging.
- Automating workflows for user-controlled cloud services components can improve productivity and reduce human error.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplifies the process of configuring and managing cloud services components.
- Increases efficiency by automating repetitive tasks.
- Reduces the risk of human error in configuration operations.
- Provides a secure storage area for automation files.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatically generating workflows across cloud services involving user-controlled components are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing a user request to perform configuration operations on cloud services components, wherein at least one of the cloud services components is user-controlled; generating one or more automation files containing one or more workflows related to configuration operations on the cloud services components; outputting at least a portion of the one or more automation files containing at least a portion of the workflow(s) related to configuration operations on the at least one user-controlled cloud services component to at least one secure storage area accessible to at least one user via one or more cryptographic techniques; processing feedback pertaining to user execution of the at least a portion of the one or more automation files; and performing one or more automated actions based on the feedback.
