SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT TO MULTIPLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18208682 titled 'SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT TO MULTIPLE COMPUTING DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for storing and managing software deployment packages and associated parameters in a data store. The method involves publishing an application to multiple remote computing devices and receiving parameter values from each device, which are then stored in specific regions of the data store.

• The method involves storing a manifest file and a parameters file in a data store.
• The manifest file and parameters file are associated with a software deployment package.
• An application associated with the software deployment package is published to multiple remote computing devices.
• Parameter values are received from each remote computing device.
• The first set of parameter values is stored in a specific region of the data store for the first computing device.
• The second set of parameter values is stored in a different region of the data store for the second computing device.

Potential Applications

• Software deployment and management systems
• Cloud computing platforms
• Distributed computing environments

Problems Solved

• Efficient storage and management of software deployment packages and associated parameters
• Simplified deployment and configuration of applications on multiple remote computing devices

Benefits

• Centralized storage and organization of software deployment packages and parameters
• Streamlined deployment process for applications on multiple devices
• Improved scalability and flexibility in managing software deployments

Original Abstract Submitted

A particular method includes storing a manifest file and a parameters file at a data store. The manifest file and the parameters file are associated with a software deployment package. An application associated with the software deployment package is published to a first remote computing device and to a second remote computing device. The method includes receiving first parameter values from the first remote computing device and receiving second parameter values from the second remote computing device. The first parameter values are stored in a first region of the data store that is specific to the first computing device. The second parameter values are stored in a second region of the data store that is specific to the second computing device.
