SEMI-DECLARATIVE METHOD FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND ACCESS CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045667 titled 'SEMI-DECLARATIVE METHOD FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND ACCESS CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a computer system that builds and updates software instances based on a software instance definition object. The computer system stores the software instance definition object in memory, updates its configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages, and then executes a fix command to create an updated software instance.

  • The computer system includes a processor and a memory device.
  • It executes a function to build a software instance definition object.
  • The software instance definition object contains configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages.
  • The computer system temporarily stores the software instance definition object in memory.
  • It updates at least one of the configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages of the stored object.
  • This creates an updated software instance definition object.
  • A fix command is executed to update the software instance based on the updated object.
  • This creates an updated software instance.
  • After creating the updated software instance, the software instance definition object is deleted from memory.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Software development and deployment processes.
  • Configuration management and version control systems.
  • Cloud computing and virtualization platforms.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of building and updating software instances.
  • Provides a centralized and efficient way to manage software configurations.
  • Reduces manual effort and potential errors in software deployment.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more streamlined software instance creation and updates.
  • Improved software configuration management and version control.
  • Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in software deployment processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer system includes a processor and a memory device. the computer system is configured to execute a function that builds a software instance definition object. the software instance definition object includes one or more configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages to other objects, which define a software instance. the computer system temporarily stores the software instance definition object in the memory device. the computer system updates at least one of the configuration items, attributes, permissions, and linkages to other objects of the stored software instance definition object, thereby creating an updated software instance definition object. a fix command is then executed to update the software instance based on the updated software instance definition object, thereby creating an updated software instance. after creating the updated software instance, the software instance definition object is deleted from the memory device.
