==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.
