METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DETERMINE AN IMMEDIATE LIFT AND SHIFT MIGRATION ENVIRONMENT FOR APPLICATIONS IN A DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18070583 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DETERMINE AN IMMEDIATE LIFT AND SHIFT MIGRATION ENVIRONMENT FOR APPLICATIONS IN A DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves managing application migration in a distributed system by inferring dependencies and connectivity among applications, generating a target infrastructure node configuration template, and initiating migration based on the determined configuration.

  • Inferring dependencies and connectivity among applications in a distributed system
  • Generating a target infrastructure node configuration template based on inferred dependencies
  • Determining that a configuration of a target infrastructure node satisfies the template
  • Initiating migration of an application to the target infrastructure node

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and other distributed systems where application migration is necessary for load balancing or resource optimization.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing application migration in complex distributed systems, ensuring that applications are properly connected and dependencies are maintained during the migration process.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved system performance, optimized resource allocation, and streamlined application migration processes in distributed environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include cloud service providers, IT companies managing large-scale distributed systems, and organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure and application deployment processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing methods for application migration in distributed systems, such as manual configuration or ad-hoc migration strategies.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for managing application migration includes: inferring dependencies and connectivity among applications executing on a distributed system, in which the applications are operatively connected through a network; generating a target infrastructure node (IN) configuration template based on the inferred dependencies and connectivity; making a determination that a configuration of a target IN satisfies the target IN configuration template, in which an application is executing on an IN, in which the application is not executing on the target IN, in which the distributed system comprises the IN and the target IN; initiating migration, based on the determination, the application to the target IN.
