DRIVER PLUGIN WRAPPER FOR CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054289 titled 'DRIVER PLUGIN WRAPPER FOR CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for modifying existing driver plugin behavior using a plugin wrapper to enable driver compatibility with an unsupported container deployment model.

  • Intercepting allocation requests intended for a driver plugin by a plugin wrapper operating as part of a container orchestration system.
  • Modifying the allocation request to correspond to specifications of the container deployment model.
  • Sending the modified request to the driver plugin to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application using the specifications of the container deployment model.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where containerized applications need to be deployed using container deployment models that are not supported by existing driver plugins.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of incompatibility between driver plugins and unsupported container deployment models, allowing for seamless allocation of computing resources to containerized applications.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased flexibility in deploying containerized applications, improved compatibility between driver plugins and container deployment models, and enhanced efficiency in resource allocation.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include cloud computing services, software development companies, and IT infrastructure providers looking to streamline container deployment processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of proxy servers to modify network requests in a similar manner to enable compatibility between different systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall performance of containerized applications?

This article does not delve into the potential performance implications of using a plugin wrapper to modify allocation requests for driver plugins.

Are there any security concerns associated with using a plugin wrapper in this manner?

The article does not address any security considerations that may arise from intercepting and modifying allocation requests for driver plugins using a plugin wrapper.


Original Abstract Submitted

Described are techniques for modifying existing driver plugin behavior using a plugin wrapper to enable driver compatibility with an unsupported container deployment model. The techniques include intercepting, by a plugin wrapper operating as part of a container orchestration system, an allocation request intended for a driver plugin, where the allocation request is for allocating a computing resource to a containerized application deployed using a container deployment model not supported by the driver plugin. The techniques further include modifying, by the plugin wrapper, the allocation request to correspond to specifications of the container deployment model, thereby forming a modified request to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application. The techniques further include sending, by the plugin wrapper, the modified request to the driver plugin to allow the driver plugin to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application using the specifications of the container deployment model.
