CLUSTER ADD-ON LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028412 titled 'CLUSTER ADD-ON LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and systems for managing the lifecycle of cluster add-ons. These add-ons extend the functionality of clusters. The computer system obtains information about multiple add-ons capable of extending the functionality of a first and second cluster.

When receiving instructions to perform management actions, validation operations are performed based on the add-on information and configuration values associated with the add-ons. If the validation operation is successful, the management action is performed.

  • Methods and systems for managing the lifecycle of cluster add-ons are described.
  • The computer system obtains information about multiple add-ons capable of extending cluster functionality.
  • Validation operations are performed based on the add-on information and configuration values.
  • Management actions are performed if the validation operation is successful.

Potential Applications:

  • Cluster management in cloud computing environments.
  • Extending the functionality of clusters in data centers.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient management of cluster add-ons.
  • Ensuring the compatibility and validity of add-on configurations.

Benefits:

  • Improved cluster functionality and performance.
  • Simplified management of cluster add-ons.
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility of cluster environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

example methods and systems for cluster add-on lifecycle management are described. in one example, a computer system may obtain cluster add-on definition information specifying multiple add-ons that are each capable of extending functionality of at least a first cluster and a second cluster. in response to receiving a first instruction to perform a first management action, a first validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple first configuration values associated the multiple first configuration fields. in response to receiving a second instruction to perform a second management action associated with the second add-on, a second validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple second configuration values associated the multiple second configuration fields. the first/second management action may be performed in response to determination that the first/second validation operation is successful.
