METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING DEVICE LEVEL MANAGEMENT IN A DISTRIBUTED MULTI-TIERED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17722058 Titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING DEVICE LEVEL MANAGEMENT IN A DISTRIBUTED MULTI-TIERED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for managing a distributed multi-tiered computing environment. This method involves obtaining scheduling assignments and a provisioning command package from a local controller using an endpoint controller associated with a device. The device's availability for the scheduling assignments is determined, and if available, the device's configuration is modified based on the assignments. Provisioning commands are executed to perform tasks included in the assignments. Monitoring services are instantiated to collect monitoring information related to the device and tasks. Finally, the collected monitoring information and configuration information are sent back to the local controller.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques described herein relate to a method for managing a distributed multi-tiered computing (DMC) environment. The method includes obtaining, by an endpoint controller associated with a device, scheduling assignments and a provisioning command package from a local controller; in response to obtaining the scheduling assignments and the provisioning command package: making a determination that the device is available for the scheduling assignments; in response to the determination: modifying configuration of the device based on the scheduling assignments and generating configuration information; executing the provisioning commands included in the provisioning command package to instantiate tasks included in the scheduling assignments; instantiating monitoring services to collect monitoring information associated with the device and the tasks; and sending the monitoring information and configuration information to the local controller.
