TECHNIQUES FOR OVERRIDING LIBRARIES FOR WORKLOADS IN A CLOUD-COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804737 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR OVERRIDING LIBRARIES FOR WORKLOADS IN A CLOUD-COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a method for overriding a library used by a workload in a cloud-computing environment. - The method involves initializing a container for the workload, which includes specifying a binary to be executed by the container. - The method further involves loading an override library into the container before executing the binary. - The override library contains an override function that has the same function signature as a function provided by the library being overridden. - The workload is then instructed to execute the binary in the container. - When the binary calls the function using the function signature, the override function in the override library is called instead of the original function from the library.
Original Abstract Submitted
Described are examples for overriding a library used by a workload in a cloud-computing environment including initializing a container for a workload that includes an entry point that points to a binary to be executed by the container, causing the workload to load, based on initializing the container, an override library into the container before executing the binary, where the override library includes an override function having a function signature of a function provided by the library, and instructing the workload to execute the binary in the container, where the binary calls the function using the function signature causing the override function in the override library to be called in place of the function.
