CLUSTER MANAGEMENT PLUGIN WITH SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE CLUSTERS AND CLUSTER MANAGERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134671 titled 'CLUSTER MANAGEMENT PLUGIN WITH SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE CLUSTERS AND CLUSTER MANAGERS
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed systems and methods involve registering a primary server and an auxiliary server for a cluster management plugin (CMP) for a user interface (UI) of a virtualization platform client. The primary server is associated with a first cluster, while the auxiliary server is associated with a second cluster of the virtualization platform, which may include multi-node hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) clusters. The CMP manifest, indicative of user interface extension points defined by the CMP, is loaded into a browser from the primary server. When an access to one of the extension points is detected while the second cluster is the in-context cluster of the UI, static resources for the extension point are loaded from the auxiliary server and REST APIs are called from the auxiliary server.
- Primary server and auxiliary server registered for a CMP in a virtualization platform client
- Primary server associated with a first cluster, auxiliary server associated with a second cluster
- CMP manifest loaded into browser from primary server
- Static resources for extension points loaded from auxiliary server
- REST APIs called from auxiliary server
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in virtualization platforms to enhance cluster management and user interface capabilities.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of multiple clusters in a virtualization platform. 2. Seamless integration of user interface extension points from different servers.
Benefits
1. Improved user experience in managing virtualization clusters. 2. Enhanced scalability and flexibility in cluster management. 3. Streamlined access to resources and APIs across different clusters.
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing virtualization platform solutions for enterprises and data centers.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in cluster management systems for virtualization platforms may include solutions that focus on single-cluster management or lack the ability to seamlessly integrate extension points from different servers.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall performance of the virtualization platform?
The article does not provide specific details on the performance implications of integrating multiple servers for cluster management in a virtualization platform.
What security measures are in place to protect data and resources accessed through the auxiliary server?
The article does not address the security protocols or measures implemented to safeguard data and resources accessed through the auxiliary server.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed systems and methods may register a first plugin server as a primary server of a cluster management plugin (cmp) for a user interface (ui) of a virtualization platform client and a second plugin server as an auxiliary server of the cmp. the first plugin server may be associated with a first cluster of the virtualization platform and the second plugin server is associated with a second cluster of the visualization platform. the clusters may include one or more multi-node hyperconverged infrastructure (hci) clusters. the first cluster may be managed by a first instance of a cluster manager while the second cluster may be managed by a second instance of the cluster manager. a cmp manifest, indicative of user interface extension points defined by the cmp, is loaded into a browser from the primary server. responsive to detecting an access to one of the extension points while the second cluster is the in-context cluster of the ui, static resources for the extension point are loaded from the auxiliary server and rest api's are called from the auxiliary server.
