METHODS AND APPARATUS TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS OF A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031263 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS OF A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for improving management operations in a cloud computing environment. The invention involves an apparatus that includes memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry. The apparatus is capable of determining the connectivity status between a first agent operating on a proxy server and a second agent operating on a compute node, both of which execute an application monitoring service. If a failed connection is detected, the apparatus updates the connectivity status of the second agent and obtains an instruction to rectify the failed connection, ultimately resolving the connection issue between the first and second agents.

  • The invention aims to improve management operations in a cloud computing environment.
  • An apparatus is provided with memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry.
  • The apparatus determines the connectivity status between a first agent on a proxy server and a second agent on a compute node.
  • Both agents execute an application monitoring service.
  • If a failed connection is detected, the apparatus updates the connectivity status of the second agent.
  • The apparatus obtains an instruction to rectify the failed connection.
  • The apparatus resolves the failed connection between the first and second agents.

Potential Applications

  • Cloud computing management systems
  • Application monitoring services
  • Proxy server and compute node connectivity management

Problems Solved

  • Failed connections between agents in a cloud computing environment
  • Inefficient management operations in a cloud computing environment

Benefits

  • Improved connectivity management in a cloud computing environment
  • Enhanced application monitoring services
  • Efficient resolution of failed connections between agents


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve management operations of a cloud computing environment. an example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a connectivity status between a first agent operating on a proxy server and a second agent operating on a compute node, the first agent and the second agent executing an application monitoring service, in response to determining that the connectivity status is indicative of a failed connection between the first agent and second agent, update the connectivity status of the second agent, and obtain an instruction to rectify the failed connection, and resolve that failed connection between the first agent and the second agent.
